I didn't get a 3d printer yet so hopefully the part I make fits correctly.? He was planning to drill and tap the holes for a through bolt or potentially tap the holes himself but I may offer to do that.? I will probably remove the part to cut close to final length in the bandsaw next.? I used a parting tool to a depth of about .800 so I could get a feel for how it would do in deep cuts.? I want to try another parting blade with a slightly different grind.? I would really like to get almost to a depth of 1.7 without breaking something.
I think he has already tested the fit and function with a 3d printed?version?? ?I was actually?surprised?there were not holes in CAD model of the flange.? ? ?But there was discussion?here is a trail fit using a plastic prototype.

If Robert is correct and the flanges are for bolts will you have enough room between the flanges to get the bolts in? It would seem the one end would need a pretty long bolt for how thick the flange is. Unless one flange has tapped holes you would also need to miss the bolt head of the bolts you first installed. That problem could be solved by centering one set of holes about the gap between holes at the other end. Paul M
