RA axis, manual adjustment

Recently I was playing with my motorized (tracking only) old EQ3_2 mount (to carry Rubinar 8/500 + Spectrometer as SHG setup) and realized I could use some leftovers (friction clutch for gears) from LXD75 modification to make aiming the scope easier..

Result of this (after a bit of machining) is shown on the third image.

And now I realized I could have done exactly this on LXD75 first.. but now I have parts for only one axis.

So, back to the machine shop (shed).. there is not much to do anyway until this weather is like it is these days.
