The castings have some rather rough nuts and bold heads cast into them, rather than try to clean these up I cut them off, filed the face flat and ground a shallow hole. Then I made up some dummy ones from steel with a short spigot on the undersides so they could be bonded into the hole with JB weld, looks like I also made the needle valve that day.
