Thanks Lewis,

Here is a picture of the finished install.

As you can see I have used a Cap Bolt similar to all the other Takahashi Cap Bolt Styles. Instead of using the supplied 6mm phillips screw

In this case it is a M4 12mm Cap Bolt.

Also as you can see the Cap Bolt is very slightly offset from the original phillips head bolt that secures the focuser housing. This is due to the torsion bar being slightly longer than what I think Tak originally specified.

It secured by the cap bolt with a nut underneath the housing at one end and 2 phillips head screws at the other end.

Hope this helps someone in the future as I could not find any articles or english speaking documents on the MEF-4 itself or MEF-4 fit-out anywhere on the web myself.


Cheers
