Thank you for your help

New updates...

RA axis:

Example of metal filings found:

I switched the RA axis with DEC axis...

Next week I will perform new tests

Did it work?

Mine arrived today and replacing the old with new was a three minute job.    Just a week to Australia - very happy with that. 

6.5 mm width is perfect. 

I also tightened up the tension a little on the Dec axis as it was a bit looser than the RA.    A few minutes of slewing each axis and they seem as smooth as silk.  

The old ones had a lot of worn belt dust so it was time for new ones anyway it seems.  (The picture of my finger) 

Ordered six so that should do for the foreseeable life of the mount.  

Thanks again and yes it would be interesting to see how they have fared.   My old belts have about 5-600 hours of use over three years.

Hello,

Where did you buy the belts and can you send the specs?
