Can't find replacement jaws for columbian 5 1/2 Vise

[nathan_454]

I saved this guy from the scrap pile at me work a few months ago, and havent been able to locate a replacement jaw for it, i have the old one but it was broken and missing about an inch off one end.

I included some pics that should help. the problem i am having is the spacing of the screws that attach the jaw - being 3 inches

any help is appreciated!

Greetings! I have an email address that I will send you by PM. He is a good machinist and has made several Wilton jaw faces for a friend of mine. I sent him an email about doing a set of Parker faces and he said as long as I had at least one of the faces to send him then it was not a problem. Check your PM box.

Have you tried this place:
http://www.viseparts.com

They list these 5-1/2 columbian jaw faces in their miscellaneous section:

Actually, I think it's these that fit your vise, and they are currently out of stock:

Also try Sears. That same vise was sold as a craftsman.
I have one on my workbench that is slightly newer model, but the jaws should fit:

Bringing an old thread up from the dead here.

I havent gotten jaws for my vise as of yet, I talked to Farold and he can make them for me, or I did some digging and found that sears may offer them but they do not give dimensions on there parts website.

these may be right?:
