ok i have brand new chuck a 3 jaw bison.
its a little smaller than the others i have but i don't care because its brand new.
i thought this blank was cast so i spark tested it and what a fluke.
long yellow straws broken by star bursts.

This bloke may have something.
I have got a backing plate from him in the past.Not sure if what you want will be there but worth a look.
Very good to deal with.

I had a look at my spare casting collection over the w/end. The ones I had done for my old Smith-Drum lathe don't have enough metal to machine into an L-0 series back plate, so I can't offer you one. Means the pattern isn't suitable either.
As for foundry costs, it's based on weight of material plus setup cost plus whatever else they want to charge. A one-off (or 2 or 4) is always going to be expensive on a per-unit price. Buy 100 and the unit price improves. This is why, if freight cost can be managed, I suggest you buy them. I could easily make them as I've got the vertical slotter needed but I don't do work for 3rd parties as I don't have the time. If you were closer I'd let you use my slotter under supervision but - you're not.
Not sure what machining sequence I'd use. Probably rough machine & drill/bore to get rid of the bulk, set up again on the turned OD, finish bore again close to size, taper bore (or combine the 2), thread the OD then move to the slotter. Reason being, the slot is pretty loose in its requirements and doing it earlier gives you an interrupted cut on the internal boring operation.
I've got a Colchester Chipmaster with D1-3 spindle and 3 other lathes, none of them L series. I do have an P-B L-00 collet chuck I'm going to butcher and fit to my Monarch CY one of these days.

backing plate
hi matt thanks for the offer very kind of you. i was just ebaying broaches then.
i may have to make bush to suit
.i don't have a shaper.yet
i was just running thru which order to do the cuts in.
maybe hold the blank in a 3 jaw and bore out to minor dia.
of the tapper.
then reverse the plate and hold it internally with the 3 jaw
machine the boss side down to size and cut the tread.
take a small cut on the outer dia of the backing plate.
reverse it again and then bore the tapper.
cut the key.
mount the plate on the spindle and face off ready to mount
chuck.
any way its been a while since ive had a multi steep job.
shouldn't be hard its just a backing plate.
