And a few pix ...

Most of his has been built out of what was lying around or scrounged from various sources. So far I have only really bought aluminium stock, paint, and nuts and bolts.
Shots are pretty explanatory, excuse the mess in the garage workshop. The cell suspension units use clear neoprene copier rollers, no springs. Keeps the cell unit very stable, no sideways movement at all. When the mirror is bonded down the centre pivot will also be filled with RTV Silastic so it sets flat with the mirror back. Supports will all be blackened by then as will the truss clamps in the box of course.
