it is a tad nippy, but not too bad... with the fan heater on medium its about 15degC in this weather (4degC outside) if I put it on full it only goes up another degree so I dont bother.

Anyway redid the part today with no hassles except had to make the tapped holes M4 due to lack of M3 tap and 2.5mm drill now...

Its not even a complex part - just a 50 x 36 x 20mm chunk of ally drilled through 10mm and bored to take an 8x22x7 skate bearing on one side and a recessed 16x5 thrust bearing on the other, a cover plate for the bearing and a few mounting holes...
