Hi Colin
You need quite a big lathe to swing the nose cone, the alternative being to use a fly cutter. I had neither a big lathe nor the required fly cutter but fortunately someone before me had attempted a repair and left quite a big hole. Hence the side locating bolts in my fix. However be careful with getting the repair exactly in line with the starter dog and handle hole otherwise the handle sticks in the dog. (don’t ask how I know this).
Cheers
