Hi! I recently bought a nice Wadkin Bursgreen BGS 12 sliding table saw. It's in pretty good shape, except for the fence. It's broken in a couple of places, and it's missing some pieces. I'm looking to replace it with something else, but as it's a sliding saw it restricts my choices. I've looked at the Incra fence, and while it looks great it requires me to have a lot more space to the right of the saw than I have at the moment. So my question is, do anyone have any advice on some aftermarket fence that will fit my saw?
 
I've uploaded some images on the broken fence. There's basically four problems with it.

1. The casting in the front T is broken in a way which I'm unsure it'll work.
2. The pinion tap on the "micro" adjustment is totally gone
3. The locking mechanism on the back part of the fence is broken and missing
4. The rod locking the fence is missing. This is the only thing I really know how to solve.

Cast iron can be welded with a Mig welder, Argon gas and stainless steel wire.
