Heavy 10 Taper Attachment Dimensions

Does anyone have dimensions for part # 32 in the picture above? I am going to have to make my own. Its called the Bracket Clamp, its the threaded locking nut that clamps on the ways so the taper attachment doesn't slide.
Thanks,
John
 
Mine works, but is not "original". It is basically a rectangular block with two holes in it. The first hole goes through the middle and is threaded for the lock bolt from the top of the clamp. The second hole sits on the chin and locks against the bottom of the lathe bed (I'm calling this the "front"). Both holes are threaded.

It's 1.75" wide x 1.9" long x 0.6" deep. The hold-down hole (that the bolt through the clamp runs through) is centered side-to-side, but is 0.9" away from the back. The adjustment screw hole along the front side is 0.3" from the front of the block. Put a bolt through it (or a threaded road and a nut to lock it in place, and you're ready to install and lock it down.

Thank You, I've been looking for this for a while!
 
Just an FYI, the threaded rod actually goes to the outside, not the lathe bed side. It's used to level that block to get good, even clamping pressure. Not sure why I got that backwards last night... I must have been tired.

Thanks for clarifying, I definitely would have tried it the other way around. This make more sense though.

Are the threaded hole measurements to the center of the hole? Or to the edge of the hole?
 
I figured it out, thanks again silverhawk. I went off center. I had to make the bolt for it too. It turned out pretty good.

That looks fabulous. Let us know how it works for you!

I can't believe I'm circling back with this kind of news. I'd been watching fleabay for some time for the part. I had given up on finding the part when I posted this thread originally. Over the last month, I've been slowly milling a 3.25"x1.25"x18" bar of cast iron down on my mini mill to cut a dove tail (I can only take off about 0.010" at a time because of the lack of rigidity in these mini mills). Lo and behold, today, 20 minutes after I re-broke my finger dropping the bar on it during a tooling reset and ripping another finger open (it's only blood) on a cutter, guess what pops up onto eBay? Yeah, that would be a PT869R1 swivel bar - the exact part I need. I had to hop on that thing faster than a feather falling in a vacuum. Now I don't need to machine one!
