Got a bit more done, got the bush housings made, bushes made, hyd cylinder mount made, cylinder fitted, belt, pulleys and motor/gearbox fitted.
Still have the shaft to cut shorter and make and fit a flange to attach to shaft/turret plate, bore/tap the mounting holes for the turret housing half of the curvic coupling and also have to mount the limit switches that detect the clamp/unclamp.
After that it will be fitting it to the lathe, getting the final height and then dismantling and machining the base to the correct height, I am approx 1mm higher than it will be, I hope

Pic below of what I have done and my quality control inspection guy having a look, not sure if its got the thumbs (paws) up but he let me throw the ball for him just a bit later so looking hopeful
