Gunnar Mod completed on my NEQ6 mount

Recommended Posts

looks like poor weather for a while so decided i would take the mount apart and do the Gunnar mod, thanks Steve for going to the trouble and ordering it.


found it to be fairly easy to do and the latitude adjuster bolt feels totally solid now,


anyway here`s a few pictures of the mod done and if anyone thinking of doing it i would totally recommend it.

Excellent job Rob - very nicely done. I'd do it myself if I had an NEQ6 - but I sold it lol. :lol:

Yep £12 from FLO or £10 direct from OVL. I got them for £12 from FLO purely for ease because they accept electronic payment and just send you a link and you get the plates in a few days. OVL only accept cheque/postal order.

just Added one more photo to showing the latitude bolt sitting in the adapter as viewed from the bottom of the mount.

Very hard to see viewed from the top.
