A little more progress this week, this time on the lower half of the scope...
Mirror box, rocker box, handles, axles and alt bearings are now at ACT Powder Coating ....
Hooray !!!

The Alt Bearings are demountable, each being held on by 3 M8x20mm Stainless steel cap screws which screw into stainless steel 'pucks' that are bolted to the sides of the mirror box,
and once they are removed the mirror box and its precious cargo drop down inside the rocker box for more compact storage....

For anyone wanting a challenge, try hand tapping threads for 18 M6x1.0mm bolts into work hardened 6mm thick 316 grade stainless steel plates......... guaranteed to test your patience !!!

(that's the theory anyways...)
