Thank you.

Joe, I did the inside first. This way, I was able to use a standard vise to clamp on the outside of the stock. I tapped the perimeter holes to #10-32 threads. Then for the second side, I took some scrap pieces and machined in the bolt pattern and then used bolts to hold it down. The bolts were just under the finished flange after it was fully machined. Eventually, I will clearance drill out the threads as the clamp ring (not made yet) has the threads in it. I have a set of ARP stainless bolts to finish it out.
