I have a 9-inch-wide Groz vise from Woodcraft that I believe is an
Indian knock-off of the Record 62 with a lever-actuated quick-release.

I bunged up the bracket on the bottom that holds the quick-release
mechanism. Now I have to hold the QR lever down with one hand while
tightening the vise or the half-nut will be forced down, releasing the
main screw.

The shape of that bracket is critical to holding the half-nut in place
when the main screw is tight, and letting it release and re-engage
smoothly. I’d bang it back into shape or make a new one, but what
shape is it supposed to be?

Is there anyone out there with a vise like this who could measure or
describe it to me? Even a picture would help.

Thanks,
