Unfourtunetly no progress with the m-series plate. I gotta be a bolt pattern first. I think the only way I could figure it out is with the bell housing cut away if you can send it to me when you get back if that's not to late for you!

I am pretty sure Gaines is asleep right now due to his night job. But I spoke with him earlier today and he informed me he might know tomorrow. As they will not know how much till they have completed a couple. But do not worry your name will be on one if you should wish. 
As a side note he also informed me that he may pre drill them and tap them to 1/8th NPT with a plug provided so if anyone should wish they can also use the adapter for there EGT probe.
And the Sloan Valve is fixed.

Don't feel too bad. Last night I got distracted (by those who will not be named when she came home from work) just before I started welding the second to last operation on my turbo adapter, When I got back to it I clocked it 90 deg wrong. that was pretty much the half day I did get in the shop shot to $h%T. I can use the adapter, but it looks like crap with the EGT probe coming out in the complete wrong direction. I have not decided if I am going to make a new one or just suffer the consequences for my loss of concentration. I will hate it if I have to look at that thing every time I open the hood. probably will make a new one.
if you are putting a price on yours, think about the fact that on a manual machine it took a good half day to make, and that is being very optimistic, as I had the bottom flange already done.
yours look very very nice. I wanted to make mine out of a solid pieces of 1" or 1.25 plate, But that would mean a trip to town, and a lot of machine work on my tired old equipment.
I will ask again. how many cutters to make your CNC flange? what bores the big hole?
I switched from a cobalt boring bar to a carbide tipped bar, and the carbide did not last a week in the steel. I had had that cobalt bar for a very very long time. New cobalt 1/2" boring bar $55 delivered. Now I am too afraid to use my new cutter
About 8 years ago I had a chance to buy a Supermax CNC mill They sold 4 of them for under $1000 each. I had just bought my mill , so I did not get one. I really regret that.
