Honing plate question

Thanks RAMM.
I'm going to talk to a local foundry on monday to see what they'd charge to cast one for us if we supply the pattern for it. It'd cost at least a hundy bucks for a billet of steel to make one. Plus with a casting, it'll reduce the amount of machining required given the abilty to cast voids into the spaces were the Bores go. As well as that, we'll have it forever. And people might want to use it for their engines too. (Which may recoup the cost over time)
