If the holes in the bracket match up with the slots in the cross-slide then I would go for a micrometer stop, especially if turning the dial makes that "sticky-out bit" (excuse technical term) move in and out.

1613 forum posts 72 photos	another quick question the thread dial indicator on my lathe is easily moved which as I plan to screw thread is of concern, it sits on a stud abount 1/4 " dia with a couple of fiber washers and a nut to tighten it. So is this setup the norm is it suspossed to be moved in and out of mesh when needed ? I have noted from pic on ebay the one Myford now supply as three small holes around the center one and the the write up they say supplied with fixing screws and firber washer ! Comments please H

1504 forum posts 142 photos	Harry, Second what Norman has said. If you tighten the nut the fibre washers will provide some friction, do it until it is just moveable by hand and it will be firm enough to stay in position. Phil
