Malcolm,
I used an old base gasket to mark my spacer plate only to find it had shrunk over the time I had it.
I then marked the next spacer directly through the cylinder bores.
A fret saw was used for the cylinder holes and file to finish to size.
The others were drilled and a cone drill to expand them, all burs were then remove.
If you are careful the faces will not be damaged.
I had a contact that could have laser cut it for me but obtaining the correct dimensions and position of each shape takes time. It only took an hour to cut by hand.
