Altitude encoder mount

Peter reversed the direction of the altitude encoder and after the shaft is lightly screwed to the connector to the mirror box, the encoder is held motionless by gravity (the metal plate rests against the bolt). In this way, any residual axial shift is not resisted and the cables never move, reducing wear and breakage of cables.
