I have a BP clone, and would like to get a 90 deg head for it, but because it's a clone, I don't want to bid on one thats NOT going to fit!
Unfortunately, I no longer have access to the real McCoy! :)

The quill on the Clone I have has an OD of 3.3750" which is supprising, as everything else is metric!

Yikes!
That means I need the long DrawBaR too!

Thanks!

Your artwork of the "widgit" in which it is a 2 prong device on the left and a three prong on the right. I saw that in MAD Magazine about 20 years ago.

Ahhhhh !
Now I understand!
That design was created by a famous artist, MC Escher, who was a Dutch graphic artist, most recognized for spatial illusions!
I love his artwork, real Woodstock generation stuff! :)
