The kit i have has some bits for the encoder to attach to celestron scopes. One pieces could neetly fit over the Pivot bolt, but needs threading on the inside which my mate can do. However i still need to find a way to lock that bolt to the ground base.. I could put a Tee nut in the between the two boards facing down. That would lock the base in place. Then i get some nylon bussing to replace the aluminium one i replaced, cut this in two one for the portin between the bolt head and the Tee nut on the groun board and the other between the remaining bolt lenth up through the rocker base. Replace locknut with the afore mentioned kit piece. The piece is a hollow T bolt with bolt head drilled for the encoder shaft.

What do ya think will it work.. It should be centred as the T Bolt fits over the Bolt. I am wondering if i need to even increase the bolt size if i use nylon bushing it could be tight.
