Well, the SVS-50 parts came in today. The picture below shows what I was trying to say :

Overall, this approach will save me time, and it cost me half what it would have cost to buy a new SVS-50. AND, I am staying with the proven technology of the Tormek jigs !!
Kind regards,
Rich

- On the left is the original SVS-50 that I already had. It is setup to use the open seat.
- On the right is the new body. It is setup with the closed seat that came with my original SVS-50. (Just putting the closed seat into the new body reminded me that this is a good decision. I had to flip the seat around 6 or 7 times until I finally figured out how it fits into the body.)
