I recently acquired a box of "scrap". Among a bunch of miscellaneous was a steady rest for my 12CK and a follower rest that appears to be for the 12CK as well. Yet, I don't see any mounting holes on the carriage for it. Would someone happen to have a picture of a factory follower rest mounted on a 12CK? Since construction seems similar on many sizes of Monarchs, just smaller or larger in scale, I assume one mounted to say a 16CY would be the same or similar as a 12CK(?). If so, a picture of a similarly constructed Monarch with one mounted would work for reference as well.
Thanks,
Jeremy
 
My CW mounts FR on two tapped holes upper faces of right and left REAR carriage saddle wings and one tapped hole face of carriage saddle bridge nearest spindle nose.

Its basically a "three legged" affair

Here is a big one

10EE mount is similar for the only travel rest I have. Monarch had several others, and not all mounted the 'exact' same way. There's a PM thread on that that shows about four different ones in decent photos.

Found it:

Probably a similar option-set existed for the 12 CK.

Mounting holes can be puttied, painted, otherwise obscured, and usually are.
