I have a 5902 and found a guy on the Clausing mailing list that's making and selling the metric threading conversion kits for 5900 and 4900 Clausing lathes.
$340 and I can now cut metric threads for my metric bike stuff. I saw he had some listed on eBay also, it's Finegrain Metals.

If you want his e-mail address, PM me.

Now I just need to find a steady rest.
 
I followed that early on-as well as one can follow that stupid Yahoo stuff...I thought I read that it would NOT work on a 4900 series lathe?
 
The way I understand it, the banjo for the later model 5900 won't fit on the early model 5900, or the 4900, but the banjo for the early 5900 also works on the 4900.

All the gears are supposed to be the same.

Here is a pic of the early model 5900 banjo, and it's supposed to work on the 4900.

I have a late 5900 and fit the kit to it.
