Your right Chas.There is too much discrepancy on my lathe bed which is why i left the nut as it is,but i will give your method a go.

Been there, with a small Record lathe. The answer in that case was an engineer's scraper, and a lot of elbow grease to get top and bottom surfaces of the bed parallel to one another. Actually, it was not <that> much work, with a good scraper.
