AdeV:
Nice to see a bit of swarf on that lathe there Mick - nothing worse than a polished and pristine lathe*  :D except when it's new out of the box, of course....  :med:

Regarding the spacers... can't you just turn up a bit more bar to the right lengths? If you want them to positively locate, then I'd suggest thinning down say 1/2 inch of your new spacers by 1/4"; and hollowing out the top of the extension spacer to the same dimension, so the one slides into the other.

Or, probably a bit easier, get some plate/block & make a pair of rectangular/square bar spacers, that go between the motor feet & mounting plate?

As for the pulley, sounds like it's basically scrap now? So why not bore & sleeve it? You could always make a thin taper bush, if you're feeling brave?



* That's my excuse anyway...

  Hi Ade, as you say I can extend them spacers or do new ones, there is bar left so just as easy to do new ones as do extension pieces .......... the idea about spacing under motor feet might be the best ( easiest ), I will have to see what bits of metal are lying about..... or I could maybe at a push use the old spacers under the motor as they are about the right height, even easier still   :D , of course I have just sawn the ends off the coach bolts I had  :palm: that would have been the ideal length with the spaces in.
  I think I will give the tapered thin bush a miss mind Ade , if I cant even bore that one out I dont have much chance there  :lol: I will hoope the pully my mate has will fit or I think I could at least make a sleave out of it that would already have the keyway built into it and thus leave enough 'meat' on the old pully to still use it............ Watch this space as they say  :thumbup:
   Just one of them days, hopefully all will fall into place on my next attempt  :)

NickG:
Hi Mick, mine is 1 1/2" x 6 TPI 3MT, what's yours?

micktoon:
  Hi Nick , mine is the bigger bore spindle, its the 2 1/4 6tpi threaded type , its the same through bore through the spindle as the L00 fitment oneone but the internal taper is 4 1/2 morse taper so was hard to find bush/ reducing sleave for it, managed to get on in the end.

NickG:
That sounds a lot more useful Mick once you found the bush ... I was surprised at mine for the size of the lathe. The gap bed could come in handy too, I won't be able to swing more than 9" in mine which again, considering it's overall size is quite small capacity. Guess people with ML7's can probably do that in the gap!
