You're welcome! Out of curiosity, how in the heck did you know those plans
were mine?

Problem is that after hardening, the diameter of the parts increased

them by heating to bright red then quenching in water.

Generally, steel will always change it's size when hardened. This is due
to the fact that the carbon-atom changes it's position in the crystal.
But there are special steels that will not react that much when
hardened. I think they are called "invar". But I can't give you any
numbers because they are hard to obtain and also we (Krauts) have an
other nomenclature.

In your case, I would just lapp/oilstone the parts down.

PS: Thanks for another set of nice plans in MEB!
