Thanks for the links.
The 2nd one I might copy the way clamp design. Simple and little machining.? Not having a mill I need to keep my design simple.

I've been wanting a nice mounting bracket for a micrometer head and a dial indicator. I made one from aluminum and it works ok on my Southbend 10k. I have the standard micrometer stop but it doesn't let me get close enough to the spindle when using collets. The narrower one I made for the micrometer gets me close. I've been wanting to make a better looking unit and came across these castings. These will take a little work but I think they look great.
Perhaps they can be machined to fit the Atlas Craftsman lathes. I'm going to get 2 they are fairly inexpensive.
You can also get them custom machined here.?
Take a look at his drawing to see if they can be machined to fit your lathes.
