Hi,

I aquired a Columbia Vice from a closed wood working shop at a school. The Columbia Vice is old and made in the USA. It looks some timing like the below vice.

I also aquired the back end piece that a Wilton vice uses to attach to the wood working bench. The Wilton piece is much stonger and has drilled holes. The Columbia piece looks to be a cast piece and the holes for the mounting bolts are not drilled but look casts. It is possible to slide the bolts off.

The Wilton pice says 9c on it. I would like to use the Wilton mounting piece on the Columbia vice. It looks like every thing would work except the piece that goes in the middle where the screw is does not fit. Can I get parts for these vices?

Here is a good pic of what my vice looks like. Noticed that the mounting holes are not drilled. My concern is that the vice could easily move lose from the mounting holes.
