I have Celestron Advanced Astro Master with 2x 2048 Optical Encoders. I need some help and ideas in mounting these using standard bolts and bits you can pickup from bunnings. I know few of you have installed OE's on your DOB's and if you could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. I have looked at the machined solution provided by Argo Navis makers, but these are expensive and i am on a budget. At preset I have a GS-880, it has roller bearing on a thin sheet for az and the standard Alt.

I need suggestions, pictures or drawings if possible of your ideas for AZ and Alt replacements that would allow the addition of the encoders.

Idealy I would like a bolt with a head that has hole in it for the encoder, and a setscrew on the side that can be tightined to hold the encoder shaft in place. For Az then i could use a Tee nut on the other end to hold it in place to the ground board. For Alt it would just replace the current bolt and screw into the same hole.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and Reagrds
