Mods for secondary knobs

Just experimenting with the secondary mirror knobs.
The Bobs Knobs are flat on the bottom, Now i could take them out and grind them to a ball but i decided to keep them flat and place a ball over them.

I found 3 grease nipples in a kit for heavy machinery cut the threads off,Unscrewed the nipple from the elbow.

The knobs now seat in where the nipple was set.

I found i had to do this as the knobs we cutting into the plate on the back of the secondary mirror.Also as i adjusted the knobs it actually turned the secondary mirror around.

My problem is now solved as there is 1 point of contact on each knob without the cutting effect.

Just thought i would give this a mention.

Cheers Kev.
