    Default New ball screw brackets don't match the current ones

    I had a ball screw fail on me and I am in the process of replacing it. I purchased two new ones and was forced to replace them today as the machine is no longer working. I pulled the one off and started working on getting the hardware onto the new one and found that the back plate does not match. Is the one I got for a new or previous version of the machine and is it possible to make this one work. In the image the one in the vise is the one that came off the machine. You can see that its wider and has an extra hole. That hole is needed so that the two standoffs can be mounted to that the servo plate can be attached. Any help would be New ball screw brackets don't match the current ones-img_6951-jpg

    Why not just swap the new parts to the old bracket?

    It was suppose to be a direct replacement so I didn't have to do all this extra work. In order to do that I have to take off the bearing off the end.

    Maybe time for a run to Princess Auto or the nearest hardware store. I keep a number of sets around because I'm always losing the damned things.
