Which one. I believe one side is cast iron and the other side is brass.

Hi oldslotman, looking at the rear the left cap is cast and the right looks like a copper bracket thats used to hold copper pipes up.

Excuse the jpg's here below but they were scanned in from my original Jennings Parts Manual!
The top is the parts breakdown from the back of the mech and below that is the part number reference!

Thanks for the info it's part #V5-78 I took a pic because It might be the right part. Thanks for the info. My 2 other Jennings don't have that clamp type that's why I'm asking

Are the others on the two machines you mentioned cast aluminum?
If so, I believe that they are original from factory being cast aluminum and possibly the brass one is a replacement part as some suppliers of after market parts such as shown here below like the now defunct for many years ANCIENT SLOTS from Las Vegas show the replacements as brass!
I might be wrong on this maybe Oldslotman will chip in!

I believe the two piece brass ones on the one side showed up after the war with the sun, club, and standard chiefs.
