Thanks for that Ken,

I used FAG bearings for 6006-2RS and Timken for the Taper bearings also.

Just the bearing shop in town doesn't stock the smaller ones unfortunately.

Did you just use standard bearings for the small worm drive ones? or go for the hybrid ceramic like everyone recommends?


Also with regards to the plastic washers. My mount had red fibre washes on both axis, instead of one plastic/ teflon and one fibre washer as per the guide by astrobaby. I'm going to assume this isn't a problem as my mount performs pretty well. (After my previous tune up it was consistently doing sub 1" guiding for hours.
