I have a problem with my 10" GSO.
Because of the amount of tension on the azimuth spring
the lower bolt has pulled and loosened the nut/collar
seated in the chipboard base.

Anyone else experience this?
I have some idea on how to fix this
using a metal plate with a nut/collar welded to it.
I'm also interested to see if anyone else
has some ideas.
Another problem I found is that the azimuth tilt causes the scope to move
sideways. I thought of using the metal plate to cover the sides further up
to stop the black round plastic from moving sideways.
I'm also finding that one of the 'teflon' pads is scratching the black plastic/OTA mountings.

Any thoughts/suggestions?
