Old Lee Auto Prime II parts needed.

It looks like Lee has quit supplying parts for these. The pin that goes in the ram on my press, appears not to have been hard enough and the bottom of it is in horrible condition, peened out and very rough and I also need the spring for it.

So, does anyone have a parts unit?

Thanks Matt

Know anyone with a lathe?

replaced mine with a spring I found in town and the pin with a cut off section of grade 8 bolt

I do not have any access to machine tools. My machinist buddy died and I lost access to the shop. I may try to make one from a bolt, but a lot of grinding.

Can you provide measurements of the pin needed? Maybe even a drawing with measurements? I'd be glad to make one if I had the dimensions..

[mattw]

I would be more than happy to provide measurements. I will not be with my gear until the weekend and I will get it measured then.

Thanks very much! These things appear to be hens teeth nowdays. I love the tool, not sure why the base got all screwed up. It appears to be made from soft steel.

No guarantees but I don't see why it should be hard to make. Like I said, pictures are valueable.
