I have a 614 vise sitting in the shop that really needs a base! I’m wanting to build a tilting base so it can be used as a small press, but I would really like the base to complement the vise, anyway the design I came up with uses the swivel bolts from a hardtail to lock the tilt function. Does anyone know where I could get ahold of two of those bolts and handles?

Here’s a look at the design

It would be best to email FireBall customer service. I remember Jason mentioning in one of his videos that replacement parts are available upon request!

Anothe option is to contact Adam Booth at Booth Machine. He replaced all the hardware on his and might sell you the old stuff.
