[NOT REQUIRED] Skywatcher EQ6 Counterweight extension bar.

[LAW (Murphy)]

As per title. Since upgrading from the 8" to a 10" I need a longer counter weight bar for an 'old' style Skywatcher EQ6.

Thanks,
LAW

I know Orion do now sell an upgraded bar and collar for the Atlas that even imported would still be cheaper than having one made locally.

Have a look here

My son machined my mount's collar to take a 1" stainless bar and bored out the weights. Definately a big improvement.

Is the thread size M12? or the thinner M6? on the eq6 older style.
