How to fit Sawguard to SS Mk V

G'day all,
I recently bought a SS Mk V on ebay here in Sunny Sydney Australia. Brilliant bit of kit, love it to bits so far. It was missing an upper and lower sawguard, so I got those from ebay in the US too. Anyway, to fit the lower sawguard ... no probs. To fit the upper one, well I'm still trying to figure it out. I've been through the forum, but that didn't help.
Here's a picture of the guard I bought, I figure it's probably the wrong one, but hey, I just thought i'd ask, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Hi and Welcome!
You might be missing the Mounting Block, part #188 shown here:

Thanks for the quick response Chris.
Looks like I'm missing 188,189 & 190. But what does it attach to?
Cheers
Upper Sawguard

Get the templates from Shopsmith, also. There are 2 holes to drill in the tiebar that connects the main table posts. A chunk need to be cut from the boss at the top of the rear post, also 2 holes drilled in the rear of that same boss.
Enjoy. It's a really good system if you get all the holes drilled correctly.

G'day Jim
OK, I'm on the right track now. When I get the info and parts, I'll post some pics again on the off chance that anyone else needs to know.
Thing is, shopsmith US don't want to know about aussies. I have to get this from the UK. Don't hold your breath on the pics :-)
Thanks guys.
welcome

Last time I heard anyone say "bit of Kit" was on a plane from Cam Rahn Bay in Vietnam to Hong kong. I got paired up with three Australian NCOs. They called the huey Cobra " a nasty bit if kit". I have to say they were a bunch of fun. Welcome to the forum, I can't help more than has been done, but thought I'd share a memory.

G'day JPG
Happy Thursday to you. It's a wip. At some point in the future I plan on getting some inspiration!
