Wizard lathe

Just picked up this Wizard lathe today. 

Just wondering if someone could please help me with getting the correct size on a Jacobs chuck. 

It's not the chuck that's the problem, it' would be on a tapered shaft, 6.8 mm at the thin end and 8.1mm at the thick end. 

I did have a look at Ebay and the Internet but to be honest all the references to different imperial sizes doesn't mean anything. 

I'm hoping some one can point me in the right direction. 

Thanks in advance. 

I gather that this is what I'm after, although this one won't fit

According to this reference both the spindle and the tailstock have a #0 Morse taper.

Thanks so much, it will be so helpful to me. 

Much appreciated. 

Ps It didn't have a motor, I spent the weekend fitting one, all I got to get a belt for it and I'm ready to roll.

Just a big thank you to dadistic, I finally got round to finishing of the lathe. 

I got the 0 morse taper, it's not a perfect fit but it will do the job, I've ordered a nice  new jacobs chuck, so it's already to go. 

Cheers again for your help.
