Lattitude bolts

[TheThing]

I've just picked up an EQ4 mount (thanks Stu) which I intend to strip down and put into use.

Does anyone know if the lattitude bolts are M6 or M8 at all please? They are missing from the mount and I need to source new ones.

thanks,

as far as i know mate "bob's knobs" is the place to go i think he does them for about £20 for the pair. personally, if you are handy with a tap and die set, drill out the mount carefully and fit m10's.,.,.,takes a bit of thought, but in my experience the "pot metal" that they make that part of the mount from usually gets %*%£ up cos of the weight(did with mine !) bent rubbish bolts etc ! so it's maybe worth a bit of heavy artillery as they say. I'll see if i can find a link for bob in the mean time .

Thanks for the info, but I need to know what size they are. If you're suggesting drilling out to fit M10s, does this mean they are M8's to start with?

Cheers,

Yes, M8.
