Btw with out even a vague hint as to your location....You could be right around the block from one of us who'd say "take these and try em".

In that case I'd look around local for a cheap set of feeler gauges to shim the height with. You may get some that are ready to go

Ok, stupid question time.. What do I need the feeler gauges for? What height do I need to shim to? I assume 1/2" blanks, is this incorrect?
This is what I assumed you are referring to. http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?PMAKA=383-5332&PMPXNO=941028&PARTPG=INLMK32

So.....How much did you pay for it? I'd buy one if it came around at the right price.Picked up a HF Special today, found it on Craigslist. It is a 12x36" lathe from 2005. Never been used, still had cosmoline on it and it was empty on oil. Got it cleaned and lubed and did a test run with it. So far it is great! Only thing is the power cross feed worked once and now it doesnt. Need to figure that out........ Overall great day!!
