Excalibur is mobile !!!

Added a few little items today, the detachable wheels and handles are now fitted. The handles and wheels have HDPE spigots that insert into the hollow side rails of the rocker box.

An over-centre stainless steel latch secures the mirror box to the rocker box for transport. A second 'hook' part will be added later to hold the scope at 45º during collimation.

A clamp for the carbon fibre shaft of the DSC stalk is now also fitted. The Camvate 30mm clamp is just perfect for the job. It is through bolted to the Rocker box upright. The bottom of the stalk rests in a recessed Delrin block.

This brings the build thread to a close, thanks for the thoughts, comments and views,

Cheers,
Matt
