HEQ5 Pro reassembling mount but have some left over bits ;-(


Recommended Posts

A while ago I removed the Alt scale disc and "HEQ5" label disc from my mount inorder to adjust the main Alt bolt. Turned out it was set far too tight so no wonder I had trouble with polar alignment. All done now and I am about to re fit the Alt scale disc and the HEQ5 logo disc. But I have another piece left over . It's a clear plastic disc which was coated by lubricating grease, and there is a hole in the centre of the disc. Can anyone tell where this goes (was going to say" where to put it" but that would be too much of a temptation hahah). I think it goes between the Alt disc and the inner casing where there are three grub screws.  If not it must be on the other side of the mount under the logo disc. Can anyone advise me please.

Alternatively does anyone have or kn ow where to see a cut away diagram of the mount showinmg the bAlt disc etc.

Thganks !

From memory (which isn't great) the 3 grub screws should bear onto a big steel washer and directly on the other side of that washer is the clear plastic washer youe are talking about (I think).

Yes, this is totally correct, and should be put back in…..👍🏻
