BTW I found that when I pulled the mirror out of mine, that there are springs on the adjustment screws but they are so flimsy that they would have little effect on holding collimation while adjustment is going on. So it's off to buy some more effective springs.
I noticed the springs today while removing the black silicon goo from the back of the mirror. The springs look like something out of a kids toy.

Once collimated I only make small adjustments and too be honest I just keep the locking screw snugged up while collimating so I wont bother upgrading the springs at this stage.
