Did a bit more today...
Made up some parts on work CNC for the pressure plates while in town last night. Put them all together today. I hope to cut the rods in half so I also have a plate with the small hole in it. The rods will have some springs between the pressure plate and the mounting on the spindle (once I source some ).
I also will attach a dust extractor brush on the tops of the rods so it follows the pressure plate height and gets rid of all the dust.
More planned for tomorrow
