Ok thanks, to make a accurate sketch I would have to buy a few parts and take some measurements. Before I start buying parts, I was just going to try and get a general price quote in case it ended up being more than I wanted to spend. I was thinking it would probably be about 10 bucks plus material costs. Is this a fair price.

I would say 10 bucks
including material costs, it really isn't that complicated to turn.

Definitely steel, perhaps brass if you thickened the 1/8" section. Aluminium will fail in such a high pressure application.

What you guys recommend to get .608 hole in aluminum 2.5" long? My boring bar wont make a hole that deep.

Is the boring bar the only kind of bore you have?

get a new boring bar. I suppose you could attach an end mill to the tool post and use that as a boring bar, but the idea is the same.
I guess you could also use a big drill and/or reamer. The boring bar will be cheaper,

Don't you think you could get the bulk of your project done with some washers and a drilled-out threaded rod?
Even if you try and totally screw it up, how much will it set you back, $5-10?
Seriously, why did I not think of that? I guess I can give it a shot.

Is there sapossed to be a offset in the centering of the 6MM opening or are your drawing skills just slightly better then mine?

Oops I didn't even notice, JRRDW... I'm sure JSR will center it lol. I'm not used to drawing in the Meters template in sketch up so it got skewed...
JSR... DEAL!!
Are your tools metric?

Yep.
You'll just have to bear with me for a few days until those accursed bolts arrive and I can mount the mill and organise my work area, hopefully by next weekend.
