I inherited this bench top, and the vise that was on it is long gone. I'm trying to figure out which vise I could install using the same bolt holes.
The bolt pattern is a rectangle. The holes are 7.5" apart center to center on the long side and 3 and 3/8" apart on the short side. The front bolt holes are about an inch in from the edge. There are traces of the paint that rubbed off on the underside of the bench, which look to my untrained eye very much like Record blue, and the U-shaped indents left around the back bolt holes look mighty like those on Records. (I tried to insert a photo, no luck).
Can anyone tell me what vise(s) -- Anant and Lee Valley especially -- fit that bolt pattern exactly?
Much obliged.
