Hi all,
At last the clamps have been sorted. And it all works really well. The poles fit nicely and the whole rig is very rigid. No need for Emery paper. The clamps now donot need to be closed all the way to grip like Tarzan.
In the pics you can see that the base of the mirror box contains ply wood rings which provide an assistance to the clamps to maintain alignment. This way the whole mirror box serves to provide rigidity to the rig, not just one surface.
Next step is to begin painting the clamps, mirror box and cage ring before glueing and screwing the clamps in place. This is followed by placement of the spider and determining the size of the focusing board. Then, the primary's placement and finalizing the length of the OTA poles.
