I made a hole in a coin and hammered a bolt in it and in a bearing got from car parts supplier ... then i welded the coin back to the bearing outer ring.
Then i replaced it between the vice head and body and fixed it with washer and nut.
It cost me total 15 dollar, vice + fixture.
hope this would be helpful :)

Maybe I missed something ? Are you able to stop the vice from turning ? If not, a free spinning vice is not much use. Kinda like the old saying of 2 steps forward and 1 step back. If you don't have one you need make a brake of some kind to stop the rotation.

i made this fix so i can use it instead of a ball vice, i don't need to brake rotation.
