That sounds neat, Nick... would love to see the process pics...!
The piece is a center steel knife plate with 8 plates. It is 54" in diameter. In the first video, that google released on my process, there is a small segment showing the model of this element.
No shop drawings were prepared other than the SU model.
Here it is freshly installed.
