I have a 5c collet adaptor and spindle protector for a South Bend Lathe and am looking for a 3c set for my 9" lathe. Anyone have a set to trade, any other suggestions would be appreciated.
 
What size SB is the 5C for and what are the threads on the spindle protector?

Somebody (probably China) is making new 3C collets, so they should be available if you poke around eBay. I also have some older 3C's in duplicate sizes if you aren't wanting a whole set.

 
Thanks for the offer on the collects-but it's the collect adaptor and spindle protector I am looking for in 3c size for my lathe, sorry for the confusion.
 
Not a trade deal but tools4cheap on ebay has the adapters for $28 BIN the spindle protector could be a good threading project.
