Follow up on this discussion .....
I have now finished my scope and my azimuth bearing seems to be a success !!!
I ended up using 3mm aluminium plate which I sanded with 180 grit and then powder coated in AztecGold. I did however find a use for the Laminex Dimensions as well, it is now my UTA baffle. Being the postforming grade it worked out only 80 grams heavier than 1mm 3ply, and came in a nice glossy black......
Pics soon on my build thread.
