If anyone is chasing parts, I recently got a delivery from a US company called Mac-it (Mac-It • Manufacturers of special threaded fasteners and screw machine products since 1911 (http://www.macit.com/)) of replacement parts (new) for my lathe spindle and chuck. Their online ordering system does not work for non US locations yet, so send an email to Jean in sales - a very helpful lady. Delivery was by US postal service.

Fit and finish is very good. In fact the only problem I'm finding is that I now have to adjust my other chucks as the original spindle cams were so worn that I'd previously had to adjust the chuck studs in to suit and now I have to adjust them out again.

I'm hoping that equiped with some spare cams I can make up adaptors for my rotary table & dividing head and save some screwing about there too.
