Tom - thanks a lot for the detail, just a couple questions:

1. Did you make the washers just so it looks "Losmandy-ish", or is there some other functional reason over standard flat washers?
2. Were the springs from Losmandy, or did you purchase elsewhere?
3. I think you answered this, but are the screws holding the bearing blocks from underneath just tightened barely snug (as opposed to springs there as well)?

??? 1. I made the washers similar to the Losmandy? washers so that the screw would sit in the recess and? the ??? spring would be stable sitting over the small lip. Also Losmandy probably designed them this way for a ??? ??? ??? reason.

??? 2. My son was in LA a couple of years ago, so I got him to purchase some small spares including the springs for the saddle plate. These are probably the springs that Losmandy use for the SLW.

??? 3.They are tightened barely snug, I also smeared a small amount of Superlube under the worm blocks and used some purple 222 Loctite on? the screws to stop them working loose but still allow adjustment.

I hope this answers your questions, if you have any more dont hesitate to ask.

Makes sense. I was thinking if you use slightly longer screws and cut them precisely or put a very small washer in the hole you can tighten then while still giving play to the OPW. I haven't done that to mine yet. Like you I just lubed under the block for now.
