Thanks Stuart
I had forgotten, esp as other later makes owned all had nuts. Was too lazy to clear a path under my stored car to inspect.
Use of steadies can resolve many centring problems. I guess many amateurs do not have or never use. Decades ago I converted several housings with good threads to car stands reasoning that unlikely to ever need early ones again. Did not consider possible adaptation.
(And for those not addicted the challenge of how to set up for accurate work is much of the allure of lathe work)
