Myford ML7 cross slide using Super 7 handwheel & dial

[Peter GurrParticipant @petergurr62011]

Hello, I'm new to this forum but am hoping someone might be able to help.

I have one of the Myford Hi Swing lathes based on an ML7 but with much increased centre height (similar to those shown on the http://www.lathes.co.uk website) which I am about to start restoring. One of the items to be replaced is the cross slide which I know should be the ML7 long pattern. The only photos of the Hi Swing lathe that I can find show a Super 7 pattern cross slide end plate together with the Super 7 pattern handwheel and graduated dial. I understand that many years ago Myford Nottingham offered a conversion it (30/110) which I believe included this part. Is there anyone ut there who may have such a conversion to their ML7 who would be willing to send me some photos so I can see this end plate in better detail, or better yet have one spare that I could purchase?

Many thanks

Peter
