I recently purchased a Jacobs Flex Collet Chuck with a d1-3 mount but needed a d1-4 mount.
I didn't realize at the time a simple back plate swap wasn't possible with this chuck.
Does anyone have a chuck in d1-4 and want to trade to a d1-3?
Thought i'd throw this out there before I posted it as for sale.
Thanks
 
Bump for new interest

Check the instructions for alignment. Online somewhere if you do not have them already.

The part where the fasteners are snugged and the forebody is "bumped", repeat, repeat... to centre it.

I do not have the need, but took that as the rear portion being severable. One of mine is on D1-3, the other on a Cazeneuve HBX-360 proprietary backplate. Both are the 9XX series, and I'm good with that as-had.

There is a possible "fiddle", too. If the D1-(x) camlock pins and anchors are pulled, one can run same-thread capscrews in from the rear to attach to a different backplate, D1 or other. Adds mebbe 3/4" to the hang-out, depending.
