    Default Douglas shaper help please

    I picked up a Douglas shaper last weekend (thanks to Pete O for the lead) and upon closer inspection I can see there are several parts missing. The missing parts are the feed bolt, feed bush and feed nut (16, 18 &19) as marked in the attached shot. I'm hoping that some kind Douglas owner could measure them up and post a sketch so I can make them.

    TIA

    John

    Thankyou Jordan, that's perfect, great detail. If I can't make them from that I should give it away.
    I'll post some pics when I get them made.

    Thanks again,
    John.

    Note that I added the overall lengths of the ratchet feed nut and bolt, and the bolt's thread length, which I'd left out in my haste.

    Noted thanks Jordan. I can't get at it for a while, currently 2 hrs away helping with the 2 older grandkids following the arrival of twins. I haven't even got it off the ute yet. I might reproduce your excellent sketches in CAD in the meantime, if I get a spare moment or two. Thanks again for the effort you have put into this, much appreciated.

    Cheers
