Not real pretty at the moment with unpainted parts and some duct tape because I havent drilled and tapped the hole for the grub screw yet, but it works great and the Sun looks amazing!

Congratulations and well done!
I'm sure you'll get some great views and far better resolution than the original PST.
Look forward to your first images...

Yeah,
The Borg Helical focuser #7315 seems to be becoming "the weapon of choice" in a Stage 2 mod....
