We are looking at alternatives.  Comparing the cost of making the
castings  and then finish machining, or milling from plate.
We can xast from A365, we have plenty of ingots.  Adding the time, flux,
DeGausing etc. can also add up, not to mention the time and effort.
The plate that we would need would be:
2024-T3  3-14"x14"x 61MM. And 1-14"x14"x60mm.
