I cannot wait to see your mods. Also let me how you resolved the transport issue.

When I read page 5 of the Assembly, and I quote.. " On the adjustment knob bolt, place two washers on either side of the roller bearing washer."

I found this a little confusing - considering I had only two plain washers and one roller bearing washer. Regardless - placing only one washer on either side - still gave me very little thread to place "a nut" if I had one on the base.

How did you get around this?

Cheers Petra

You will need to repostion the holes further down just above the Lightbridge sign. Oh well it's always fun when tinkering
