Brass screws it is. Good info on JB weld I didn't know, thanks Lewis. It's not a strict restoration and I want the mount to be easily usable, keeping with what was used, hence the Tangent arm and hand slomo control on the RA. Might add a motor to the RA one day, then again I might not.
I'll replace the aluminium disc now painted gold with a brass disc one day, so screws will be the way.
A photo of the original Dec circle, now to do the same on the RA with the hours and mins.
More to come on this....
