    Can you show me a picture of the screw out of the box showing the thread wear and the fit of the box into the leg? The box is the bell shaped nut at the back, it should have a key forged in it.

    Also a photo of how the jaws align. When you screw it open and closed again do the jaws close in line or off set?

    I can't see the mount plate in the photo is it complete?

    Some more photos
    jaws align within 1/16" same spot every time (the moveable jaw doesn't really wobble side to side)
    The box fit in the leg is a good un
    The male thread looks excellent the female is pretty good.
    The mount plate is fine
    All in all l reckon she's probably got another 100 years left in her
