Boley Leinen Reform headstock on a Lorch lathe?

[Stian]

Hi gurus, 

I'm trying to find a face plate mandrel for my Lorch lathe and found one for a Boley Leinen Reform that is fixed to a headstock. I believe that ways are the same on the lathes but the height is likely different so that it cannot be used on my Lorch. Would anyone know for sure?

I'm guessing you have a lorch with regular WW style bed? The Leinen Reform has a similar style bed but it is much narrower. The WW standard seemed to have been more of a guide than set in stone to some makers, I'm not sure that a Leinen WW head would fit a Lorch WW; even old Leinen WW isn't compatible with newer.
