I bet that was pricey. I think I would feel better having new parts for that item.Bought new split nut from Clausing

Ahhh OKAY. Let me see what we can do in making a readable print that shows basic dimensions and then we can fine tune it to what you'll need. Have you tried finding one used? I'm sure you've looked but I have'ta ask. LOL..Here it is... Yeah I could fab this total from scratch with trial and error fitting it. But having some basic dimension would help.
This is on a low priority right now.

Have you tried calling Clausing and first determine whether or not they still stock the part or not. If they do, you can buy it or not, but don;t bother asking for the drawing. If they don't still have the part, then ask whether they have the drawing. If they do, they will probably email you either a TIF or a PDF scan of it.

Would appreciate. Just asking if anyone has this lathe with QCGB to trace out the cover and a few dimensions would help. Also though about reusing the back halve of the original cover and build off that. Some thing unique.
You said you were in no hurry so I haven't started.. just let me know when you're ready to go.I am also going to ask you another question.. In my "parlance" the quick change gearbox is mounted on the lower left front of the lathe. But I am understanding that you wish to replicate the cover on the end / far left, where the tumbler change gears are.
Am I understanding this correctly? You want the end cover over the gears left end?
