Picked up a Wilton 1765 and no base

[DadsShop]

Picked up a used Wilton 1765 Tradesman 6.5" without base hardware, looking online the original replacement parts alone seem to be more money than what I paid for the Wilton vise. Does anyone know if the parts from a comparable Yost vise are compatible with the Wilton brand vise? Yost parts seem to be more affordable.

Here is what I got:

Yost Base Parts (~37):


What I like about Yost is they made the clamping tooth piece one part instead of two with the Wilton.

You'll need the measurements of the Yost parts. I'd expect them to be inferior to the Wilton parts in every way.

I have both a Wilton and a Yost five inch. Even if it fit, I would not use the Yost base. The Wilton locks up solid but the Yost has a lot of slop. Also, the Wilton came in two versions. With a swivel base and without. They are not the same. If the one you have was sold without the swivel, you will need to modify it to keep it centered on a rotating base.

It's certainly came with a swivel base at some point, you can see the raised portion on the underside from the 2nd photo. I can't find any dimensions online.
