I must appear very slow on the uptake, would you then machine that plate
yourself (or have it done)?

I was not clear on that point. I would cut it out myself with a
band saw and then have the center hole bored on a mill for Tracy's 
oil seal and then use Tracy's redrive plate to match drill all the 
other redrive and mounting holes. I would then turn a little pilot spindle 
on the lathe to insure the center holes were in alignment with 
Tracy's plate. 

Then I would rotate Tracy's plate to cut the starter
holes on the exhaust side.  I would also turn a pilot
spindle to make sure the starter pilot hole was properly positioned.

It would be much easier for Tracy to build this of course as he has 
all the exact dimension of all the hole positions.
