Most Sorby's were 25mm x 2mm, the same as the Avon Tyme (not cub) machines. However I cannot state that all were or that your machine is.

Have you rung Sorby themselves to see what they say?

Hi Roy, As Bryan has indicated contact Robert Sorby ...  http://www.robert-sorby.co.uk/ ... A quick look and M25x2 was a size for some RS Lathe ....  http://www.toolpost.co.uk/pages/Chucks___Accessories/VersaChuck/versachuck.html ...  scroll down backplates.

Cheers    David
