How would one make a longer Dec shaft as the current axle thru the head is one piece of steel?.

I can make a wedge ok, but the Dec shaft......Hmmmm.. any suggestions?

None of the MTPRO's have ever had taper rollers and most likely never will. It is very expensive to change all the pro's ball races to taper rollers.. in my opinion just not worth it that is why i like the stock MT , its easy to modify.
Both the mounts can operate in EQ, the facility is there in the controller software, you just need a wedge.
As far as the pro dec axle.. it is the the same length as the MT, its just that it slides away inside the main axle for storage. It Can aslo be removed if you want to fit an even longer one but i dont see why that will ever be needed.
cheers.
Graham.
