That is a good idea, didn't even think to call Ace. There is one that's kind of far away, but not that far. This might sound like a dumb question, but how do you figure out which vise has metric threads and which has SAE? Were manufacturers consistent? And are some of the metric...

Thank you!!! When I measured on my vise, it looked like about 11/16" diameter but less than 3/4" that I could see, but when you figure in the threads, 3/4" sounds right. Going to try this with a 3/4"x1" NF bolt first, as soon as I can get the bolt. Stores didn't have it, so I'm gonna order one.

DFB, or anyone, do you know what type / size of thread is on that big bolt (the 1 9/16)? I have one of these and it's missing the bolt, no idea where to start. Inspired by all the restorations I see you guys doing, and hoping this one's not going to be too big of a challenge.
