Dual saddle plate mod

Recommended Posts

So, in anticipation of my bresser refractor arrival I've modded my skytee 2 to take two ADM saddle plates.

Firstly I drilled and tapped 2 M8 holes in the counter weight bar holder.

Then I drilled a 20mm hole through my new ADM saddle plate :wacko:

I posted the thread on tapatalk and selected tapatalk hosted images but obviously nothing has been added :(

EDIT 2: Yay photos

Pm Craig, he should be able to sort it.

(Unless of course it is user error ;). )

I think it's part of the upgrade Craig mentioned about hosting images elsewhere. May have temporarily affected how tapatalk interacts with forum.
