A quick Google led me to mkctools.com.
This guy is an ARTIST! Even my 13 year old daughter was stunned by the before-and-after pics of a 10ER restoration. The finished product looked like something from a hot-rod show. My budding desire to do a 10ER restoration for myself just got a fresh shot of adrenaline.
But I never did find any info on the custom miter bars.

I inherited my Dad's 1985 Mark V-B 505 (built right after the double bearing quill was introduced) and I started looking for experts to help with the restore. I found Jacob Anderson and Skip Campbell. As I researched Skip, I realized that he lives less than 5 miles from me.
I had the privilege of meeting him and hanging out in his shop while he rebuilt my motor. I also took apart my headstock and had him replace all the bearings with sealed premium NTN bearings. At the time he had miter bars for the mark V and the 10E/10ER. Now I can only find the 10ER ones on his website. I might be totally crazy and misinterpreted what he had for sale, but I thought he also had them for the Mark V. If not, maybe he can make them.
