CAD drawing of simple rocket igniter, Day 3

So, here is a CAD drawing of my rocket igniter. The small grid spaces are one millimeter on a side. It will be machined out of a block of metal (most likely stainless, maybe steel or brass) using a drill press. I don't know how I'm going to do the nozzle, yet, though.

The top will be threaded for my 18 mm spark plug, and the two holes, one on each side, will be threaded for my orifices (the size of which I haven't calculated, yet... should finish that up tonight). I may also just drill the orifices directly in the metal, though I'll still have to thread holes for attaching the propellant hoses to them.
