I really don't know what to say only laugh Dave. Sean Connery certainly was a star!

Enjoy!

PS I also spoke to Frans at Myfordsolutions in Netherlands, that guy looks switched on and also holds stock of some hard to get items and its not as expensive as you'd think to get them here

Marvelous! You are welcome! £47 for the end plate, £125 for the full assembly! if i'd known the full assy was a straight fit before i ordered the plate, common sense would have prevailed.

What a simple joy it is to maintain these machines after working on European cars/vans/pushchairs.......

Thanks for that DiogenesII but unfortunately that doesn't fit my machine, That's the connoisseur model, mines an SK. I've been trying Myford for over a year but as luck would have it they have just got a handful in that fits mine and its coming today. Also found Metric cross slide assembly Myford super 7 dial handle plate screw and nut | eBay and have since found this will fit.

And correct, Sean Connery did fix the machine before me and his typing skills and drink problem were nearly as bad as mine!

Steviegtr it cracked the casing, scrap but i was clutching at straws trying to fix.

Appreciate all your replies.

I have a Super 7 lathe and a very long time ago the end-plate was repaired using a brash plate. Its not a bad repair actually bit it gives ever so slight movement when machining.

Although there are a number of endplates online i can't find one for a super 7 (powerfeed model)

Does anyone know where you can get these items? Seem like an item that's easily damaged so you'd think there was plenty of people making replacements!

PS if anyone is interested in the lathe im selling it shortly along with a variety of tools, chucks etc
