There are a couple of things you should know about the GM8 mounts in
general, and the G9 in particular. My G9 shared a "stiction"
problem with
the GM8s, particularly in DEC. A replacement teflon bushing from
Scott
Losmandy resolved this problem, although it introduced a minor
issue: the
DEC clutch must be tightened more to achieve the same amount of
resistance.
IMO, that's a minor irritation, compared to the stiction problem,
which was
a HUGE pain-in-the-***!
Gee, this sounds familiar....so Scott has already had this fix in
his bag of tricks for the G9. When I emailed him about replacing the
nylon clutch washer with teflon on my G11, I got the impression from
his response that it was a new idea. Nothing was said about the fact
that he already did this on the G9. Hmmmm...curiouser and curiouser.
