Thanks to 'wayback machine' you can search the internet archives..... Here's the website https://web.archive.org/web/20150401054326/http://astro-baby.com/ ... I didn't think that she did a belt mod though.

Hope that helps

You have two suppliers for the belt mod : Tavcso and Rowan.

The Tavcso mod uses a 71 tooth belt and the Rowan mod uses a 72 tooth belt. I would prefer the Rowan mod. This is the one I installed on my EQ6 before I switched to an AzEQ6.

Rowan explains on their site how to install their kit. It is quite easy and clearly explained.

The RA is made of  :

- 1 motor pulley : T2.5 12 tooth, no flange, 2 setting screws, for 6 mm belt, 
- 1 worm gear pulley, T2.5 47 tooth, no flange, 2 setting screws, for 6 mm belt
- 1 belt galley, about 5 mm dia, with flanges, made of nylon
- 1 belt, T2.5, 72 tooth (180 mm long)
- 1 mounting plate

The DEC axis is similar.

Thank You!
