Thanks guys this is information i have read about already, the information i am looking for is sizes of the locking screws, hole sizes, whats in the mechanism etc. The d1-4 follows the pattern of the a1-4 so hole pattern is not a problem. it is Dave's thread that gave me the inspiration, the adapter i use at the moment is made of fiberglass and with protrusion already i am confident this should work out fine as lone as i stick with dedicated chucks (no further adapter plates and add pins to my existing (should be enough meat)). I do not have access to another lathe with this type of chuck. There is not a lot on the market to even purchase a replacement for the existing nose. If anybody has a better idea or suggestion i would appreciate it? i am not even sure i could replace my nose without changing the whole spindle?
cheers

John Oder on Practical machinist website provided me with a drawing for the D1-3, so perhaps he could help with the D1-4 also.

Hi Dave, thanks.
I have seen both your adapter and your collet chuck, both here and elsewhere and don't think I have commented on it since you finished, so I will say well done here. :clap: :clap: :clap:
It came out great.

Deer guy who is a member here has plans with measurements that he will send you, I have them if you get stuck. He only asks that you not profit from them, which is fair enough as he put the work into them.
A good friend of mine Stuart from Australian wood work forum made an adapter recently and would probably share his measurements.
In his thread below I also posted a picture of the cam lock out of the spindle. The link should take you to the picture, if not it is in post 67. There is not much to them if you get the measurements.
