When I used them I would back them of, carefully collimate using the main screws then tighten the locking knobs and end up re-collimating only this time using the locking knobs!
The only reason they are there is if the spring are incapable of holding the mirror which the ones on the model scope i have definitely were not.

Hi Malcolm, Well I've man handled the scope now 6 times, That is taking outside & bringing inside three times now. So far nothing has moved. I don't know if the springs have been upsized in this "b" version, surly Bintel could confirm.
So far so good.
