Still haven't got my butt over for that cuppa Phil but maybe this weekend?
I am still jealous of the paint finish on your project !!!
I have finally got all the bits together, just need to decide on the final colour scheme. The Berlebach tripod has black gloss finish on the various metal bits, my pier extension is also black but with the white T-Rex something has to change. (It's a pain to be pedantic about things at times).

Maybe some kind soul with a black T-Rex would actually prefer a white one ....... (Ian?).

I did make a couple of new centre bolts for the tripod and pier extension today as the originals only gave about 4 turns till tight.

This is a wonderful post and the mount is so beautiful. I'm going to put my FTX v2 on the same Tak tripod recently. Will share more pictures when available.

The T-Rex mounts seem to be just becoming more popular every year.

Can anybody inform me how long have they been around?

...and HIGHLY collectible since the maker died last year Finding any on the market is nigh on impossible, as everyone is keeping them, and the family of the maker has no plans to let anyone else produce them.

It's a shame Tak has never made a high end alt-az mount.
