Bridgeport J-head Brake Lock Stud?

[kruegdr]

Does anyone have one laying around? I purchased a mill for work last week and the brake doesn't work well. The shoes have plenty of meat left on them.

When I pulled the top apart, I noticed the brake lock stud was worn, but I can't tell how bad (no prior experience with changing brakes out on a J-head.

So, does anyone have a brake lock stud available and could measure the dimensions of the part that wedge the brake shoes apart? I believe mine is worn too narrow.

Thanks very much. I'll try and get a pic tomorrow when I go back out there.
