at 2.5mm the fine focus chaft is a little undersized, this makes the flexible coupler on the Sharpsky a little loose but there are special adjusting screws on the coupler that can be used to correct OR you can have some of Phil's "Steampunk" (© Fred) brass tubing for an almost perfect shim.
oh the shim sounds great - cant thank you enough Phil (and Dave) will this be Phil's secret GSO fit up kit? mechanically not there but you know i would have a trailer load of spares
