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

Al,

If they are both late '60s then should be a straight swap, both having a "narrow bed"

. Both ML7 and Super 7 used narrow saddle guides until 1972, when the wide guide bed was introduced for the power cross feed Super 7

I did a similar swap some years ago without difficulty. I seem to remember that I needed to drill and tap a new mounting position in the back of the ML7 bed for the Super 7 countershaft arm.
