Hi all,
Just a word of caution. For those thinking of putting the Argo Navis on there mounts, if you Mod them to much you may have to mod the mounting hardware that comes with the AN. The pic was a mod I made on my rocker box. This in fact made the distance between the ground board and rocker box to much. I had to go and get the nut shimmed down to a thinner nut so that the nut would fit between the bottom of the base and lower than the grub screw that holds the encoder in place.

So do your mods and I hope they work but be mindful if your thinking of the AN system. The kit comes with hardware that is for a standard GSO base not moded!!
