Replacement bolts for NEQ6

[Ness]

I have just purchased an NEQ6 mount :-) Having read numerous posts about upgrading the bolts, this will be my next step. Is it best to upgrade both the Latitude and Azimuth bolts, or just the Latitude ones? Also, where is the best place to order these? Many thanks

the latitude ones are the most problematic, but even the az bolts can become tedious. I got mine from http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEQ6-EQ6-Pro-Mount-Latitude-Azimuth-Bolt-Upgrade-Set-/280722548445?pt=UK_Photography_Telescopes&hash=item415c5e26dd

Bought mine from 365Astromomy, Replacement bolts, one bit of advice is get the full number you need and remember which mount they are for. :rolleyes:

I have a long and a short replacement, cannot recall if I need 2 for Alt and 2 for the other, so not sure I have enough to replace everything. I also cannot recall if I bought the ones for the EQ5 or the HEQ5. :eek:

Nicely made bolts however. :grin:
