I am looking for a Dial Indicator Holder for a SouthBend Lathe that clamps on to the bed rails. it looks like the old powder measure attachment for a toolbox. Any help appreicated.

Are you trying to rig up a "poor mans" travadial to have accurate carriage movements? Sometimes these are for sale on eBay. Some guys use a magnetic base and an indicator for this application.
 
Lew,

Unless your heart is set on the holder specific to the South Bend, just make one. I made one for my old Atlas no problem...and I'm not very smart.

Or, you can do what Jerry suggests. That works well, too.

Justin, Jerry, I found the part I was looking for. I don't like magnetic holders. Had one come loose hit me in the face. OUCH. Was going to make one but started looking and finally found 2 probally get both. Thanks for the advice.
 
Here was my solution.
