If you get a 12" diam. thrust bearing, as used on rotating serving devices
on restaurant tables, and fit it in place of the Teflon pads, you can adjust
the freedom of azimuthal movement by adjusting the centre bolt. They cost about $30 at any bearing retailer, and installation just needs a few D.I.Y. skills.
It has always mystified me that SW designed the finder base with the open end facing down. Remove the scope retaining screw [ hold the scope in place]and drill a deep dimple in the scope base, so if the bolt becomes a bit slack the scope can't slide out of the base. Don't drill right through the base, or the screw won't hold it firmly in place.
For the record, I can't get on with RA finders either.
