First, TIA to all who have suggestions. I'm duplicating the pintle/spud/haven't been able to find a technical term, of a compound and need some advice on how to make one feature.
The pintle is surrounded by a bore about 1/4" deep and 9/32" wide. I understand the purpose of the bore is to spread out some of the load. I'm hoping it will take care of the ~ .014 gap I have when the flat one I've made is tighted down. Suggestions on how to duplicate the bore?
Iv'e read that a simple paper blotter like is used on a grinder will probably take care of the gap if the bore doesn't. Reference pictures of the original follow:
