That pic is exactly what I want milled for a block.

I don't know what you mean by middle skinny area. If it's what I think it means, you can mill that top piece to fit. Or, what I did was to drill the three holes in the bottom plate. Then drill your holes for the top plate. Then Take a 1/8-28 male tap and thread the inside of a 1/4 threaded 1/2 barb. Then take a copper pipe 3/8 outside diameter and use a 1/8-28 male tap on both ends. Then use a brass cap with the same threads drill a 1/8 hole in the center of that cap. Then screw that cap on to one end of the copper pipe. Then insert one the other end of that pipe through the bottom of the plate up into the hose barb and screw it in till it's flush with the bottom of the plate. Then you can attach your bottom plate to the top plate and the brass cap should sit just 2mm away from the base so that it sits inside that tapered hole.

I made this new block thinner to do away with the brass cap. I don't know if it will perform better but it might since there is less room for the water to pool around the jet. See the nozzle in the pic above? I did the same with it and threaded the barb the same way but using a 1/8 threaded nozzle and cut the nozzle tip off and drilled the hole to 1/8. 1/16 was to small. So when I give that a try again, I'll take pics of my old block for you to see. The pic you just did would be the best way to do it considering if we had a mill.

By the way, that multiple jet you see didn't work. It simply doesn't create the same velocity and pressure as a single 1/8 jet. Would work well with a high pressure pump.
