Here are some pictures of it: I'm pretty sure it bolts onto the carriage, but I just can't figure out where.

About mid span of the saddle on the side you will see two bolt holes. My SB follower rest looks JUST like it. Dave

The two threaded holes about mid span are the ones you should be looking for. http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/index.php?topic=14436.15 Dave
