The handle on each press has a taper pin holding it in place. And each hole was drilled for each specific press with the handle positioned prior to drilling--to pre-drill and have the taper holes align properly is probably not possible. That's why the couple of times we've tried to fit a handle to a press it didn't belong to that we had considerable reaming and filing to get a pin to work. But this print also shows the start position for the gripper bar, and counting teeth on the gear, one can determine where the cylinder should fit on the bed rack. Or, trial and error, depending on one's level of patience.
