What brand lathe? The Vega mini mounts are adjustable for mounting thru out the bed. as long as the lathe bed is a flat surface and not extremely wide it will mount. Your dimentions seem OK.

When I ist called Vega directly they told me that they can make duplicators to fit just about all lathes. just call them and give them the name ,model number and size and your 3/4 of the way there. Ron
