can you post a few closer pics from PM and support ring

For the offset or PF? these might help

@Pipedream: How many times have you painted the mount to keep rust at bay?
I am wondering as I am looking at my rusting 1.2m PMs, and they're more rust that PM at the moment...

Usually clean with a wire brush or I take them to work and get them grit blasted then prime with hammerite primer then two coats of smoothrite. In the photo you will see what the pole mount was like when I got it.

Take a look at the photo, there is an angle bracket goes through the mount bolt then another bolt goes to another angle bracket that one adjusts the decline angle. The main frame underneath has a slotted hole in it. I will take some pics for you tomorrow. Both the offset and the PF have the same type of adjustment.

Same principle as on the 1.0 / 1.2 PM.
Not sure I'd do it that way today, but I'm sure they had a good reason for doing like that.

Something like this (observe the inclination adjustment mechanism - and please abstract from this not being a polar mount)
