I've recently been given an older little metal lathe, it came is a 100mm 3 jaw chuck.

I am looking to purchase a 4 jaw independant chuck for it. The faceplate on the lathe has 3 holes not the more common 4 hole layout.

I am struggling to find a 100mm 4 jaw with 3 mountng holes. Can anyone suggest an online supplier? or should I look at replacing the faceplate as well?



I've attached the only pic I have of the lathe at this stage.
