Man you guys are paying WAY to much or working WAY to hard for a 5C
closer...

I snagged a Royal 5C lever closer and 4 1/2 adaptor for my Clausing for 100
bucks... No it wasn't from eBay... it was off the SF craigslist..

I did have to make the spindle nose cover though... total cost for that was
$0.00, a buddy gave me a chunck of AL round to turn that from...

Well, the 4 1/2 MT to 5C adaptor came in today. Now I need to make a draw
tube when I get the lathe together after completing varidrive repairs.

The ideal solution would be something 1 3/8 od with enough meat in the ID
to
thread for thread for the 5C shank.

I found this but cheaper solutions would be welcome.
