(the aluminium stepper motor brackets are actually NOT fastened to the bed rails - they float as the couplings to the feed screws are solid. The original bed ways were a bit old-age stained, but were ok - just too short! They came out fairly easily after 60 odd years in place. I had 12mm ground "drill rod" here at home, but needed 8mm, which I picked up a short length at the British Harrogate show early May for pounds 2.50, which gave me more than enough for the cross slide ways. I don't think the lathe had much use, just decades and decades of sitting around.
