I have an ELLIOT quick change toolpost (S. 00 HB ???) fitted to my Boxford AUD lathe and am looking for some spare parts ie: 2 x clamping 'T' and 1 x eccentric clamp 'bolt' I am sure I have the wrong names for these pieces, but see the photo attached. All dimensions in inches.

Anyone know where I could source the bits from. I have tried making the 'T' clamps but can't find a steel tough enough yet machineable (by me).

I bought some spares some time ago (unknown source) but they are not the right size. Anyone want 2 x 'T' 0.615" dia with clamp bolt 0.400" dia

Can you help ? If you have a lathe quick change toolpost with an eccentric pin of 0.375" dia and 'T' clamp 0.630" dia, please tell me the manufacturer name and supplier as I am looking for some spare parts for my Elliot toolpost. If you have 'T' clamp 0.615" dia and pin dia 0.400" , then PM me as I have some spare bits.

Thanks in advance Bob

Try RDG i think they do that type of tool post in various sizes. I have no connection to RDG.

Strange - No one want these spare parts - will only cost you the postage.

Rotagrip do the spares

You may also want to think about contacting the people who used to make the Myford ones, they sell on e-bay.
