Hi all
I am looking for a tailstock for a Mirac PC or the drawings or a sample unit to allow me to make one, can anybody help?

Hi,
Is this still an active requirement?
I have made an adaptor that fits a Myford 7 series tailstock to a Mirac PC bed.
I can supply a drawing and photograph if you still need something.

Finally I tidied up my drawings for the Myford tailstock adaptor to fit a Mirac PC.
Attached are drawing files and photographs.
You may notice that I fitted some captive brass shims where the tailstock sits on the adaptor this was to finally achieve correct centre alignment. Without this the machining would be much more dificult as I had to measure Mirac centre heights etc. Also this allows for variations that may be present as not all Myford tailstocks may be dimensionally identical (wear and re-scraping/grinding etc.)
Hopefully this will provid eneough info to inspire you to build your own. I can answer specific queries if you have them.
