AZ GTi EQ mode locking bolt in the way!

[dd999]

OK this may be a silly question - but having bought everything to convert my AZ GTi from AZ to EQ.... it seems I can't use this setup because of a locking bolt!

I bought the Star Adventurer wedge, attached the AZ GTi to the wedge - but it can only spin around 270 degrees because a locking bolt (holding the plate where the AZ GTi sits) gets in the way! 

Is there a workaround??

I'm guessing just replacing the bolt with a smaller headed one!? 

Another bit to buy!!!!

Known issue, yes, replace with smaller one.

I used simple hex socket / Allen key bolt instead.

Do you know the bolt size by chance?

I can't be 100% certain but I think it's M8.

I took mine to hardware store so I could do direct comparison.
