14” Standard modern follow rest

[Fozzy]

Hello folks, is there any chance someone on here would have a standard modern follow rest?

My lathe, 14x40 Utilathe didn’t come with a follow rest or steady rest.
I would like to build them both eventually and have a project to do that will need a follow rest.

I’m just looking for some dimensions of an original if possible.

Attached is a pic from the manual of a factory one.

Can the 9” lads shoot me the couple missing dimensions and I will make some changes and put up a set of PDF plans.
