[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1058426, member: 178786"] Udpate: I tried the additional two spacers that were present in the photo kindly uploaded by "CH", unfortunately I still have the same issue with the top bearing. As soon as there is any tightening up of the dish/declination plate the top bearing gets harder to turn. There is no such issue with the bottom bearing. As the top part of the dish/declination plate needs to be clamped in place to keep the declination angle locked I tried a bodge job to keep it locked but still have the dish/declination plate easily movable East/West. The bodge job involved hybridising the top plate of the IRTE mount into a garish version of the top plate of a Jaeger 1224. The Jaeger 1224 uses an M10 eye bolt to set the declination angle, my garish bodge job attempts to use the same logic. A picture of the garish bodge job, now known as the [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]"[I]IRTE-1224 Hybridisation[/I]"[/COLOR] is attached below. It seems to lock the declination angle and allow easy East/West movement. I need to tidy it up and cut the bolts to correct length. [/QUOTE]
