Just a thought for people like me and Dan Taylor with Colchester Triumphs that can't take a QCTP due to the centre pivot being so huge.
Rather than mutilate the topslide what about doing away with it altogether?
How often does the topslide get used unless you want to turn a taper?
You could make a large riser block and attach it to the cross slide. It would be extremely rigid and easier to make.
If you need the topslide you could swap it out when you need it..
Or would it get annoying very quickly?
