Emcomat 7 Cross-slide nut

My Emcomat 7 lathe was suffering severe backlash problems in the crosslide.

I was not able to find a replacement so I took measurements of the old nut and machined a new one in brass:

It seems I did not make any major mistake and the nut fits and works perfectly under the crosslide. No more backlash !!
