Hi martin,
As you know I decided to go ahead with your roller bearing mod on my Skywatcher Synscan EQ5. Ordered the required bearings from SKF in Adelaide, but they had to be ordered and I started to disassemble the mount for cleaning prior to doing the mod only to find that the worm gear in my mount already has roller bearings on the shafts!!! And they're 11.3mm in outer diameter!!!!!!
So this is just a heads up for owners of THIS model mount.
Cheers
Doug
