Here is my problem, I am installing a wifi 'Pushto' DSC system on my GSO 12" dob (the new Andrews Comms models with the black knobs). I already have the 'Pushto' box, SkySafari Plus Android app and tablet , cables, encoders etc organised. The Altitude encoder is giving me problems. The GSO uses a friction bearing controlled with the black knob on the outside of the bearing.

I have considered a number of different approaches to the Alt encoder, from belts, to bell cranks, incline encoders (sadly now out of production at USDigital), roller or gear drive, etc. Does anyone have experience in DIY install of the ALt encoder on the GSO dob that they can share.
