    Why dont you drill the spiggot hole then remove the pad, indicate the hole and machine the shoulder with the pad alone on the rotary table?

    The rear pad if its a tiny bit big can be machined or filed and scraped to affect collimation. Sorry if youre miles ahead of this...

    I have not noticed any meaningful deflection of the body held down in a jig.
