Can a middle plate be made out of brass/al/copper (whichever expands most) and then heat it up and inser the eyelets or copper capillery tubing (after being frozen)? (shrinkfitting I think it's called). I don't know wheter you'll find this kind of tubing though.

Can capillery tubing made out of acrylic (like the ones used in chemistry labs for small samples) be used by manually cutting and pasting into the middle piece?
Hum... this might help the construction, but I don't see how it'd improve performance.

I like the idea of using glass microtubes. Anything that's got a smooth surface inside might help: the drilling process leaves a restrictive mess, but probably not relevant here, because the flow is laminar.
