 I started with the backplate of the crankcase , thread cutting M42 x 1 , from "back to front" , so I do not cut in the collar  :)
 This is useful when I cut the thread in the crankcase , so that I can try that it fits .

As we English say "Practise makes perverts perfect" and we don't mind as long as we can watch your engine build thread  :)
