Hi All, managed to get more work done on this project with great results.
I have almost completed the polar adjust rods. The only thing left to do is to shorten the rods and make additions to extend the rods at different latitudes.
After that has been completed I intend to work on stabilising the base board with cam followers and for the interim will leave the standard base bearings as they are and will only consider replacing them if they play up with the design.
To save placing photos on different places I have place them for view on my Google+ album. Also details on each photo explains each step.

Not sure if i like the layout for the album but it is free!
