Ed,
On your Alt bearing your attached a metal strip. The bearings this strip rides
on I see you have screwed the strip along the center of the strip, do you
get any interference when the bearings ride over (well... under) the screw
holes in the strip?
And any chance you could share with me how you have built the stiction
brakes on the bearings I know you have used Telfon... maybe a sketch you
have laying around the shed...
I'm about to start my next dob project
and are interested in your bearing arrangement. I would also like to move
away from the Teflon/formica way of doing it.
regards,CS
