Once you have one side cut to match the block then all you need to do is cut the other side to the correct thickness, better to measure the thrust register on the block or the old factory 2 bolt cap than to measure the bearing. The new cap needs to match up the the register on the block.

Any chance fitting it with oversized dowels would
get it close enough for one face to match? Then it
gets cut for the right thickness?
