Hi Eric. I'm interested in your design thoughts for this aspect, as I've been wondering how to do a similar thing without obstructing the OTA movement. By the way, I have done a similar thing to your plates (for my original DSC's), but still get significant lateral movement of the OTA, enough to upset the alt encoder. Holding the rocker sides firmly at a set distance should do away with the need for the plates, shouldn't it? That would be nice.
