Can anyone supply me with the dimensions for a Myford Super 7 topslide gib strip?

The one that is fitted is clearly wrong and I have the facilities to make a new one.

Many thanks,

Brian

The gib on my Super 7 (1977 vintage) is .125" thick by .376" wide by 5.450" long. The width measured across the widest part of the two angled faces. The angled faces aren't sharp but have a small flat along the sharp edge. Hope this helps.

I should have added, while you're at it I suggest you incorporate George Thomas's top slide lock and gib modification. I have found them very useful.
