Thumbs up fitting a GSO 10:1 to a Tak focuser pinion

after finding out the cost of importing a micro focuser for the FS-102 i thought there had to be cheaper option.

i pulled out my old 6" newt and thought there has to be a way to fit the fine focus part to the tak pinion and after a few hours of mucking around i finally got it, really wasnt that hard to do AND is completely reversible leaving no marks etc on the OTA or focuser.

now i have 10:1 fine focus on my Tak that works with my Motofocus/PC Focus = im very very happy
not that the tak focuser is a pile of junk or anything but i really did miss my motorised focuser when it comes to imaging.

i can make a step by step guide if anyone is really interested.
heres the photos:
