Myford ML7 and S7 bed question
| Al Monkhouse | 29/09/2016 15:34:30 |
| 7 forum posts 3 photos | Hi, this is probably an obvious answer but I really can't find out for sure, despite searching. Can anyone tell me if a ML7 bed will fit a Super 7? I'm talking standard length beds, grey, late 60's. Are they a straight swap?
Thanks
