Thanks for the info, I was hopeing to find a replacement part and buy it, and work on the striped out nut later..(have two just in case I mess things up. after all i have already stripped this one out!)I use this vise for work on my truck. It has done everything I wanted it to and more. I have been without it for a couple of days now and it shows, I work on drilling rigs mostly, so getting the job done quickly is what its all about. So for now I guess I'll go and get a new vise, and work on this babco when I get home. hotels frown on working in the parking lots!
but then again, I may like the new one better!

I have a babco 160 vice that needs repair. If anyone can help me or point me in the right direction that would be helpful. I have looked on-line for a replacement nut, but haven't had any luck finding one. It looks to be casted. I don't want to replace the vise, I really like it.
This is the first time I have posted pics, so hopfully it will go well.
The pics are a little blurry, but you can tell that the nut was striped out.
You can really see it on the screw.
ps. there was a number on the nut BJ408150
Thanks.

and yes I still haven't figured out how to change the date on the stupied camrea.
