Does anyone have a myford ml7 half nut handy?

[Water-Mark]

Hi, if anybody has a myford ml7 half nut lying around I'd appreciate some measurements of it.

It should (hopefully) be a left hand 5/8 x 12 tpi but what i really need to know is the dovetail width and height as well as the centre height from the back of the dovetail.

I'm hoping one might fit or be persuaded to fit a different machine.

Thanks

If no-one gets back to you by the weekend, I'll take a look at mine

That would be great thanks.

Can you bear with me another day or two? I thought I could just drop the half nut out, but it turns out there's not enough clearance between the bed and the apron. To get the half nut out I need to drop the apron right off....

I'm not in any rush.
Please don't take apart a set up machine, i was hoping someone might have a spare in a drawer somewhere.

Many thanks

I thought I was going to be able to help but I have a super 7 and while most parts are the same on later ML7 and super 7's, if your leadscrew is 5/8 then it is an earlier model so they won't be the same. Sorry.
