Bryan,
Here are a couple more photos of my Dalton tensioning setup.
Also shows a method I made up to level the bed. The dalton mounting casting is bolted to two lengths of 1/4” flat bar. ?The flat bar is bolted to the table and threaded somThe hex headed bolts protruding out of the flat bar allow front and back off the lathe ?to be raised or lowered individually, as needed, to take the twist out ?of the bed. ?The tailstock end is bolted solidily to table.
