Need to borrow part of Saeco sizer

Would anyone with a Saeco luber be willing to loan me a component off of it for a week or so? I need the upside down T-shaped piece that holds the top punch and is connected with two side rods and the handle.

Right now I sell a screw-in adapter that lets you use Lyman/RCBS top punches in the Saeco luber but it takes up some space and limits the length of bullets you can size. I want to make a duplicate T-piece that will directly take a Lyman/RCBS punch and permit sizing longer bullets.

I will pay postage both ways and give the lender a new T-piece ready for Lyman/RCBS punches. Hell, I might even throw in a blank punch or two...

PM me your address and I'll send it to you. Don't need a free piece, I have two Star's on the bench and haven't touched the SAECO in years. In fact it's stored away. Someplace. I even gave away a second SACEO a few years ago. Plus I haven't a single Lyman/RCBS sizing die.

I love my Saeco sizer and would love one of these set ups!
If Rick runs into a snag please let me know I will send mine!
I love my Saeco except for the top punch headaches.....

Thanks

One of the purchasers of my adapter texted me some info on making new, longer guide rods and a longer handle link bar to increase the working distance using the adapter. After thinking about it I believe it will be easier to simply make a single replacement part. I think I can price it cheaper than a single Saeco top punch from Midway.

Yes, and thank you very much. I have been so busy I just didn't have a chance to acknowledge receipt until now. I will try to make time later today to measure the piece. Hope to get it back in mail stream to you in a couple days.

No hurry, just wanted to make sure you got it ok, ya know how uncles civil servants can be. It's a currently unused lubri-sizer for me anyway.
