399 forum posts 167 photos	I have bought a Mk1 Clarkson Tool & Cutter Grinder which is missing the centres. As it seems unlikley that I will be able to find any (hope I am wrong!) it has been suggested that centres from the Stent T&C grinder will do which are available as castings for £10 each from Blackgates. Does anyone know that the finished height of the Stent centres are? The originals were 5/8" ID, 3-3/16" centre height. Thanks Peter

399 forum posts 167 photos	Thanks John. So it looks like the Stent ones would need substantial packing blocks but still feasible. Perhaps the height is not too critical, havent got the machine ready to run yet so dont really know. Wont order anything from Blackgates just yet in case something original turns up! Cheers Peter
