You should be a design engineer...you obviously have a decent ' workshop ' to turn out your parts.....the main mirror mount is very well made and the finish is very good indeed......secondary mount is excellent to.

Thanks Col, yeah I got more time than money so I have to make it if I want it. Between my dad and four brothers I got most of the tools I need.

The aluminium I cut out using a jig saw, followed by lots of filing and sanding with 1200 grit sandpaper.
