Had to reset the DEC as I hadn't adjusted it properly but now both axis have no backlash at all which is nice. Will post here when I have some data, but I should state that the belt mod is actually a doddle to do after doing the hyper tune.

Looking forward to seeing how yours tunred out Allan.

Pointing accuracy was never an issue before this change (especially with EQMOD) however I haven't tested that yet since the belt mod - I was more concerned about getting some PE data last night. Maybe tonight.

The PE looks good however I need to re-learn EQMOD since I haven't played with it for a couple of years.

The belt has definately removed the significant amount of PE that the transfer gear was contributing in my case.
