Not sure if it helps, but a pal has been building a Stuart 5A, on an ML7.
I am due to see him next week so can ask if he has had any special
problems with making it on a small-ish lathe.
I dont see any reason why major items cannot be fabricated rather than cast.
No doubt Tel will comment on that too.
