Head stock oil wicks/springs 9" south bend lathe


Don't pay crazy money for Lathe oil wicks. I re-worked my South Bend 9A last winter. I have some stuff left over. These two Springs for the head stock oilers have plenty of spring left in them.
I've included some F1, and F3 felt cord so you can build your own. You will need to shave a bit of the cord. It is a very tight fit in the spring.
The length of cord is about twice as much as needed.
