I would have thought that mild steel or cast iron would be OK but in photo 2 it looks like brass. Am I correct in saying that the height of the block is 40.5mm? In fig 2 the threaded potion of the new lead screw looks longer than that on the original. I this correct?

I seem to have omitted to include this dimension. My apologies for this omission. The dimensions of the new feedscrew are given in Fig 8. I hope this clarifies the drawing. Mike
