Hello

Keep an eye on here https://www.astroboot.co.uk/AstroBoot they have loads of bits and bobs but not sure about shipping to Algeria, all the best and good luck

The locking bolt could likely be replaced by using a suitable sized bolt. It is likely to use a standard thread size.

Are you able to use your telescope with how it is?

[kaka17]

I can not use it
Because these pieces are not present

It is not clear what parts are missing. You have highlighted "u-shaped base" which seems to indicate that you in effect do not have a mount. What is the full story? If you cannot complain to the seller, maybe you need to buy another mount.

I bought it used
The platform is missing the letter U
And the base I want from you is solutions or who owns these pieces

This is the telescope I think

I suspect you could use it without the trim lever. This is fine adjustment of altitude which isn't essential.

The u shaped bit it is unclear but you might make something using a bolt or two to fix the tripod legs.

The u shaped locking bolt you also might be able to live without it. Does that centre post move up and down, it might just be you use it at the lowest height or if it locks azimuth movement then leave it free moving.

A dobsonian mount often used for a reflector is a mount that moves by nudging by hand the telescope altitude and azimuth, aim for getting the tension right in your mount to be able to use it in a similar way.

You can explain with pictures or draw an illustration
Until I apply it

The problem is I do not have a shape
u It is very important to carry the telescope and also the iron bar to install
Thank you

Reading the user manual, can be found on the link I gave, does not read like the link bar is essential.

It's hard to help on the tripod leg from the photo above

What is your budget (in Euros etc) for fixing this problem? The more practical solution may be to purchase another mount. Alternatively,  fabricating an altazimuth (movement up/ down and around) mount for a small telescope from basic materials is not beyond the capabilities of the average person.  When I was a youth, I made a mount and tripod for a small telescope from bits of wood and metal.  Or have somebody make the missing parts.

[kaka17]

Shaper my budget very little
You know the price of the euro against the Algerian dinar, as well as shipping
too much

[Cosmic Geoff]

In the UK, buying stuff is cheap, but paying anybody to do work or  make special parts is expensive.

In Algeria as you suggest, importing stuff is expensive but having somebody make parts should be cheap??

[kaka17]

The problem is who makes it and how
The measurements are here shaper

Perhaps this thread can help with ideas on fixing your telescope so you can use it.
