Fullerscope Mk III mount pillar width


25585

Recommended Posts

I have bought a Fullerscopes MkIII equatorial mount (hopefully received next week) which will need a pier pillar.

If anyone owns such, please could you let me know the outer diameter of the pier pillar width.

Also if anyone knows the same measurement for a SW EQ6 pillar diameter, I would be very grateful.

The pot base on the mk 2 mk 3 mounts has an I’d of 116mm so a variety of tube od’s will suit 3 radial bolts clamp the pot base to the pillar tube tolerances are broad !

Mis read yours is a mk 3 but a mk 2 is the same without the wrinkle black finish it tends to fall off over the decades most need a touch up or repaint ?
