missing screws from Sky Watcher Equinox zero 100mm OTA focuser

[athornett]

Hi folks,

I bought a second hand Sky Watcher Equinox Pro 100mm factor and have discovered that the focuser is missing two of the four screws arlund the outside of the base plate. I am NOT talking about the locking screw or tension screw both of which are present. I presume an electric focuser was installed previously and when removed the screws not put back.

Can anyone tell me what specs these screws are so that I know what to purchase to replace them?

The focuser is not entirely stable without them.

I think you'd have to remove one of the screws to confirm; the screws on the skywatcher focusers I have are all M3 from memory, but length varies.

The metal colored or the black ones?   I can remove one for you and take some measurements

Hi,

I have similar issue in that couple of the hex head silver bolts have entered (an)other dimension(s).

Do you still have a note of the sizes from earlier?
