Would it be possible to alter the design so you would have a through hole that would be covered with a plate in assembly?  A though hole is a lot easier to machine than one with a bottom.

Stan. 

I’m not sure if it would be possible to cut the back off the cylinder and make it a bolt on or not. I will need to study the plans and see if it could be done. 
But that is a good point. It would be easier to machine it right through instead of bottoming out. 
I will try machining it as the plans specify first. I want to see if I can do it as called for first. If it doesn’t work out it’s just a bit of material wasted.
