Ahh if only Lockheed made bicycle callipers.
TBH making calliper adaptors on a mill is a PIA as by the time you've set it all up with various bed attachments to get the nice curves I reckon your as well doing it your way - drill holes in plate, saw bits off, file, polish. Simple!

What's important is, there's much more satisfaction in doing things this way than there ever could be in simply buying something. I know it isn't always possible but when it is, we should embrace the opportunity.
It's a rustoration rather than a restoration Shawn. Money isn't there for new rims / spokes but they are sound - 'tis really a matter of making sure the whole thing is mechanically sound and 100% reliable rather than pretty.
