RC8 disassembled for decoupler design
Spent the morning removing the RC8 rear end plate to send to Josh, it was a straight forward, with a selection of Allen keys and a Philips head screwdriver being the only tools needed, plus a bunch of soft towels and such.
After removing the baffle tube and mirror retaining ring, using lots of care, the mirror slid out onto a soft cloth without any drama. It's still sitting up side down on the cloth in the pics, waiting for a clean. I put some red dots on the Backplate internal thread edge, mirror chamfer and back plate screw ear so they can all go back together in the same circular location.
Back plate and tilt adjuster have now gone off to Josh for the decoupler design phase.
