Hi Mike thanks for your reply what a wonderful lathe you have i thought my little Portas was pretty but yours look magnificent what make of quick change tool post have you fitted ?.
As for 12 volt power supply's i have looked on ebay but i know nothing about electronics and they have all sort's from 3 pin plug in jobs to charge a phone to things that look as if they would run a space ship i volunteer at local steam museum (Bressingham in Norfolk ) so have some understanding of how a steam works but when it comes to electric i am lost.
Have order a new wiper motor from ebay should be here next week from VW Corrado will fit it to the lead screw with some sort of a bracket.
Regards Andy
