Clausing Collet Closer/Draw Bar

[knots]

I need a collet closer/draw bar for my Clausing 5900 series metal lathe. None of my usual parts sources have one. Any suggestions regarding a reliable source for this accessory will be appreciated.

Pretty pricy. You have the lathe so why not make your own?

Thanks for the reference. Every lead is appreciated. Occasionally a good deal can be had on Ebay. Unfortunately the referenced accessories are not one of those cases. Yep, pricey for sure. If that is all there is then I will make one up. Last thing that I bought on Ebay was an Aloris quick change set up. I was happy with that deal but there were three others on auction at the same time and it was not the smaller size that everyone else seems to want/need. Also if I Can buy it for close to my to costs to make it up Ill buy.
