Hi Jimmy, Sorry to hear of your experience, I hope your mirror came through unscathed.
I transported my LB12" down to our clubs dark sky site on the weekend.
Over about 4km of rough road. I unpacked the scope and collimation was only a slight tweak of one of the primary knobs.
I recommend that you change the primary springs immediatly.
It will make a world of difference and because they are stiffer you can do away with the locking pins.
Whist you're at it change the Primary and secondary screws, the difference is light years better, they are hand operated, NO TOOLS NEEDED. Hope this helps, John.
