To make it suitable for use downunder I have cut the centre leg by approximately 40mm. This makes it suitable for use as far north as the Sunshine Coast (26.5 deg N). In addition I have added a 1kg counterweight which fits snuggly on the centre leg.

Awesome, never looked through one but heard all the stories. Grew up staring at S&T ads for them and dreaming, especially about the 7"...
I assume you meant 26.5 deg S..?
