Does anyone have a source for British B-A thread form hardware? I'm 
restoring a Myford ML-7 and am missing a few small screws. I suppose I 
could tap them out for SAE hardware, but I'd rather keep it original

Thanks!

Does anyone have a source for British B-A thread form hardware? 

I'm pretty sure I posted this info recently, maybe it belongs in the FAQ?

Despite the name, have a broad supply of British fasteners and tooling

Although this company specialises in parts and accessories
for British bikes, not cars, they have been supplying customers for 
over 18 years, and have a number of items which would be of interest
to British car owners, primarily Whitworth tools and hardware.

They are direct importers, and supply retail and wholesale.

While a copy of their 176 pg. pricguide/catalogue is available for
$5.00 postpaid (prepaid or by calling with a credit card number) best
bet is to phone them any weekday. They have warehouses in both the USA and
Canada, and accept all credit cards. - Wayne Swift <[email-masked]>

Peter, don't ignore the obvious.  Call Myford in England.
They can supply many spare parts and are a joy to deal with.

Also it would be worth your while to subscribe (or obtain some
old) English model magazines.  Also there is a large model
supply company "Reeves" in England which has a great catalogue
which is also available on the WEB at 
http://www.fotec.co.uk/mehs/reeves/index.html

Also Hemingway has a great catalogue and lathe accessorie kits
which are made on and for Myford lathes at
http://www.fotec.co.uk/mehs/hemingway/index.html

I've asked questions, ordered parts and always been satisified with
Myford, Reeves, and Hemingway.

Bye

I was in England about a month ago and stopped in the Myford Spares 
Store.  I was given a couple of sheets of "frequently requested" spare 
part for the ML7.  I don't remember seeing many of the smaller screws but 
some of the hard to find or specialized nuts and bolts, such as the 
t-nuts and bolts for the top slide, are readily available.  If anybody 
has anything special that they would like me to look up please send me 
email.  I also have the current price list for accessories for the 10 and 
7 series machines.
