Hi Geoff,

Great looking mod. If they are not rated for sideways loads, how would they go on a Dob on an EQ platform which tips from -7.5 deg. to +7.5 deg? Would some modification be needed or could they still be used as is? I like this mod as my Dob is sticky in the azimuth direction at the moment, but I would like to build an EQ platform in the future.

Cheers.
