Mesu 200e azimuth adjustment for polar alingment

[Tomatobro]

I am trying to figure out how the azimuth adjustment is made. Is it that the two back bolts rock the mount left or right a small amount and that is how its done?

Yes that is how I did it.

Yes. That's how it works.

I was a bit nervous about how easy it would be, but I find it a very positive adjustment that is fairly easy (to the extent that drift alignment is ever easy).

Is it these bolts? These are what I will be using when the skies clear 😊

I would have thought the left hand bolt ringed in your photo and the hidden third bolt are used for azimuth adjustment, while the right hand bolt ringed in the photo is used for altitude adjustment. 
I am presuming the unused bolt(s) for alt/az adjustments will need to be loosened slightly to allow movement when making the adjustments, but hopefully a 200e can confirm this.

I guess also that the cables (power and USB) can go down where the motor cables disappear into the mount and out via the angled base bracket?

Cable management is one of the improvements listed for the mount so I think that is right.
