Re: GM-8G ¨C Attaching The Tucked-in Motors
|
Where I live, I found a shop that sells individual Allen keys, coz I want to keep my Bondhus set intact.? I bought two sizes; one for the motor and one for the worm gear bearing block, and cut off a bit of the shorter ends.? Works great for me.

I received my new GM-8G mount last week directly from Losmandy.? The main mount parts came in two pieces that were easily attached simply with two bolts. The difficult part was attaching the two drive motors to the Dec and RA axes. They were not attached upon delivery.? It was very difficult for me to attach these motors as they are close fitting to the sides of the mount. I could not get the allen wrench into the area squarely to screw the small machine screws in. There is very little space to get an allen wrench with attachment screw in place squarely to the receiving hole. I resorted to using a needle nose pliers and turning the screws from the side for most of the screwing -- a very slow process without scraping the finish on the close mount walls. Is there an easier way to do this operation?
