NEQ6 tuning with Gierlinger gears and Belt kit

Hi All,

I have recently installed a Gierlinger ring gear/worm set on the RA axis of my NEQ6 pro mount and also a Rowan Astronomy Belt kit for both axes. Trouble is I am having difficulty tuning the mount. I seem all of the threads here and on CN and have seen the Astrobaby website but I am having no luck. The Gierlinger gear has very round teeth so it can be a very snug fit with the worm which I think is making things a little harder. My concern is that I may have to shim the worm carrier due to the high precision nature of the gears set. I have been wrestling with this mount for a little while now as I did get an inferior set of belts and pulleys which caused me enormous grief. The Rowan Astronomy belt kit is superior in every way and I am glad I have replaced my original pulleys/belts.
My question is are there any experts out there who may be able to physically help me with the tuning of this mount?? Would really appreciate it.

Regards,
Lucas
