Hello,
Thanks for the advice on redoing the bolt heads, looking at the base the gap for the heads looks like an issue.
To get the tool free collimation bolt setup and fans fitted, any reason against putting a hard wooden biscuit in;
-pad the biscuit for vibration
-fan with a few extra breather holes/channels
-run the new bolts through, with larger tool free heads
-set a circle of dowel bits protruding away from the board over the height of the new bolt heads and fix a resting/storage plate to those.
There are three 3mm threaded holes not in use on the telescopes base plate I think I can fix into. If I gap the holes around the new longer collimation bolts, I shouldn't stress the collimation bolts when resting the telescope on its end.
Unless the biscuit get a few no's, I think I have a new project underway.
thanks
Steve
