J head on a mvn

[troublecreek]

I have been toying with the Idea to find and install a Bridgeport J head on my millrite. I am about to go through the millrite and thought that I may be better off with a Bridgeport head. Has anyone here done this? I've heard that it is pretty much a bolt up and go to work affair. The folks over at the yahoo millrite group said somebody by the name of Lazlo had a lot of knowledge on the subject...........

The "Bport" head is heavier, but yes, it's pretty much a bolt up swap.
"Plug-N-Play" if you will.:D
You'll lose the geared tilt of the bport, so you'll have to do it the "armstrong" way.

That should work pretty good. I like the BP head better than the Millrite head.
Let's see here...Lazlo...Hmmm - that name sounds vaguely familiar for some reason...:rolleyes:
