Thanks for the replies.
Got the mirrors all lined back up again using the Cheshire eye piece tool.
Thought i would pop the laser that is collimated in to have a look and the laser was tell me things were way off, so putting that down to a very bad laser possibly.

One interesting thing i did find and was hoping someone might be able to advise me on.

Got secondary mirror nice and square and centred to eyepiece holder.
Got the secondary mirror spot on lined up with the primary mirror so that i could see all the primary mirror clips nicely evenly through the eye piece holder.
Lined primary up so that the centre is spot on with the cross hairs and in the centre.

The only thing oi found was that no matter what i do, ( moving the secondary in or out, tilt left or right ) i can;t get the reflection of the bottom of the eye piece holder to to be centre in the mirror reflection.
It of always off a little.
Everything else is spot on right using the Cheshire eye piece.
It is as if the eyepiece holder need slightly packing up on one side.
I have only noticed this just now when trying to get everything spot on.
Never noticed it before as i was just mainly using the laser.

Dose this sound right? or a slight manufacturing error from the factory when installed?

Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
