Looking for a tailstock for a small lathe (Craftex B2227L)

As the title says. Got B2227L or 10 x 18 lathe but it very bare machine. No chuck no tool post and no tailstock. The first two are common things to get but the tailstock is not.

So far the cheapest I got is $125 tailstock for mini lathe that I need to modify.
 
Well.... they sent the upper casting for the tailstock....

AND ... a discount coupon for adult diapers!

I am not sure if this is just coincidence or someone at BB is making fun out of me.

Anyways it explains the low price - I find where BB is in Calgary and be forced to drive there to get rid of this lump of steel.

I take pictures of both the lump of steel as well as adult diapers ad - in case someone does not believe me.

Its 10% off BTW.

Pictures?

PS - I believe you but I'd like to see the lump of steel.... Guessing it's just an unmachined casting?

Where do I get 10% off on adult diapers? Is that better than seniors day at shoppers drugmart?
