I certainly did. I'll check the lengths for you at home. I got them from bunnings.

P.S. before you do the mod, collimate your scope (as good as you can), whack her on your mount and slew about the sky, or do it by hand (gently - to simulate slew movement). I found that my mirror shifted quite a bit under these conditions.

When I perform the same test now, it holds collimation much better across the sky. But, as with all newts, you will still need to perform minor collimation adjustments throughout the night. It's a good practice to check it often.

Logie.
