Fitting TA to 13, Crossfeed screw issue
I'm retrofitting a TA to my wartime 13. The "handle end" of the crossfeed screw that came with the TA was broken off, I found someone selling a newly made one on E-Bay.
It seems like it is set up for some other config than mine - it is about 1.25" too long, and has a .500" dia. section ahead of the .4375 dia section where the dial mounts.
Best I can figure is I need to re-assemble the cross slide and modify the purchased part to work with my standard dial. The seller of the TA "threw in" a large dial, but it is only about .19" or so thicker than the standard dial.
Am I missing something?
My CF bushing on top. Broken part received with TA next, original CF screw in center, newly purchased part on the bottom of the photo.
