I have a 5902 and found a guy on the Clausing mailing list that's making and selling the metric threading conversion kits for 5900 and 4900 Clausing lathes.
$340 and I can now cut metric threads for my metric bike stuff. I saw he had some listed on eBay also, it's Finegrain Metals.
If you want his e-mail address, PM me.
Now I just need to find a steady rest.
