Hi Guys,
Just a quick few questions about making a barn door tracker, hoping someone can help me out here.
Refer to uploaded image/drawing.
Is the distance between the plates/arm on a barn door tracker critical?
Will a wide gap between the plates/arms have an affect on the distance from the center of the hinge pin to the tangent screw?
Will the wide gap affect the performance of the tracker?
Reason being, the hinges I want to use are Glass-fibre reinforced thermoplastic;axle in stainless steel, excellent quality, very sturdy hinges I can import through work, they have no or minimal play.
(see the black hinge in picture)
Cheers
This is my first post on Ice in space, l hope it works!
(Sorry if someone has already asked this question before, I couldn't find a thread in the forum about this)
