Thank you KMSCOTT for the thread and the advice! Question, do I need a spring? Can I just make a bushing to fill the gap? Never restored a vice before really do not understand what the spring purpose is for. I am a bladesmith and this is going to be a daily user not a pretty one.
I just purchased an Althol 614 and just want to clean it up, however I need the bushings and spring for the screw. Is there any place that supplies these?
