Stu Ablett in Tokyo Japan

OK, I see the post man came today with my box of goodies from Lee Valley, but I was not at home, so I got to go get the stuff tomorrow from the post office.
In this box of stuff, are the bits for doing pens on the C-man lathe, all MT#1 stuff, the manderal etc.
Now I will most likely sell the C-man lathe once the DVR gets here, but I want to use the pen stuff. The DVR is a MT#2.
I know I can buy the adapter sleeves, and I think I've found them here in Japan.
The question is, will the sleeve from a drill press work?

it is a MT#1 inside, and a MT#2 outside, but it is fro a drill press, think it will be OK?
Also, I bougth a new, on auction chuck for my drill press, as I busted the old one :o
I made a stu-pid mistake and read the thing wrong, the cheapo drill press I have has the JT on the spindle, so I needed a chuck with a JT33. I don't know how I did it, (OK, I'm Stu-pid) but I bought a JT6, yep no fit.
Now I've ordered the correct chuck, but I have this JT6 chuck here, I don't have a drill chuck for the lathe, thus I found this "Chuck Arbor"

it says it is JT6 and MT#2, so this should work for getting the drill chuck I have on the DVR when I get it, correct?
I cannot, or have not, been able to find lathe specific things like this here, yet, but a MT#2 is a MT#2, right?
Cheers!
