Looking at the rescued Woden 186B/2 i have, can you get aftermarket swivel mounts that fit easily? Apparently all Woden vices came the ability to fit a swivel mount but you try and find one.. it the only thing stopping me from bolting it down
PS: I have a carpenter vice and a Record No. 23 which is too big for my uses.. if anyone is interest (stourbridge ways)
Had this installed about 6 weeks now. I've always made do with combinations of Black and Decker work bench, G clamps, levers and weight etc, but this is so bloody useful! I even clamped my SPD shoes in it the other day while I tapped an allen key into the slightly distorted bolt heads to remove them.
What paint to refurb a record vice?

WD40 and leave the existing paint? My vice looked awful but came up well with WD40 and a cloth

If it’s just worn and ‘patinated’, then spritz with WD40 and go over with a stiff brush then a rag.
If it was like mine was, where it had been slathered with all sorts of grubby paints of different types, so the paint was filthy and cracked, I put a wire brush on a whizz wheel, protective glasses and stripped all the crap off then hand painted it with Hammerite blue, which is as close as makes no difference to Record blue.
Been a while, so I’ll post the photos again…
Hmmm, Postimage isn’t playing at the moment, hope that isn’t a bad sign.
Is this one of the oldest threads? Probably one of the handiest things I couldn't do without in my garage.
It's a bit like a frying pan in a kitchen or a radio first thing in the morning
No clue but both vice' in the op are still in the same location getting good use repairing all manner of stuff.
