So i got bored and had an idea for something. So my first step was to take the area i would be working with and make a computer model of it so i know all my tolerances, So i made a scale model of the top of the cam cradle (all the important dimensions, i did not fillet or champher the edges but its very close to the real thing [± 1/32] )  
here is what i got rendered with materials and lights…
