I've just joined and this is my first post, so apologies in advance if its in the wrong place or format.
I picked up this fixed steady pretty cheap in an on line auction advertised as possibly from an XYZ 420 or Colchester.
Does anybody recognise it?
I have checked with XYZ and its not one of theirs, and its too big for my Colchester Student MkII. It might be from a Colchester Mastiff or Clausing.
The dimensions are:
Height - 465mm
Centre Height - 225mm
Bore max - 165mm
Base - 270mm
My plan is to adapt it to fit my Colchester which has a 6.5" (165mm)centre height by removing the baseplate and lowering it by about 60mm.
but before I ruin a perfectly good bit of kit that might be more valuable to sombody else, I thought I'd check.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
