Upgraded cogs for EQ3-2 motors?

[rockinrome]

Hi everyone
I have the CG4 Head (same as EQ3-2 but apparently smoother in operation(?) ) with the Synscan upgrade.
I have read that the new Skywatcher EQ3 PRO mount has "upgraded" cogs  - 180 teeth as opposed to 150 I think ....
Does anyone know if there is a cog upgrade available ....?

Thanks again.

I would expect that the new EQ35 has new castings for the body to accommodate the larger worm wheels and gears and these would be incompatible with the older mount.

Hmmmm, just what I thought.
I was "hoping" for - "Yeh, you can just remove those 2 and replace with these .......".

Thanks fro your reply Cornelius....
