Thanks circumpolar,
The alt-encoder can go on either side of the mount but it did mean I would have to run the encoder cable from one side to the other and possibly need to buy the longer cable.
Also I had problems with the original alt brake with it cross threading due to overtightening.
So I relocated the brake to the opposite side and used the original azimuth bolt/knob (I needed to fit a 5/16" captive nut) which gives a bit more purchase and being a steel bolt and a steel nut rather than the 1/4" steel bolt and the aluminium nut arrangement, hopefully it would bind up again. Also I made a larger brake block with a larger surface area so I don't need to tighten it as much now.
Cheers
Garin
