I use a removeable centre livecentre as per pic I turn a small brass sleeve fitted in the live centre with a snug fit (cut of the threaded end of the mandrel) to the mandrel end.
The tension from the tail stock the depth of the hole in the brass about 3/8 of an inch, use packing 1/4 inch washers or adjust the collet mandrel.
Trust this gives an alternate you can make.
Kind regards Peter.
