[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 845882, member: 325666"] Ok ..having resigned myself to having to replace my 24 inch actuator arm due to sloppiness accrued over the last 12 months .. Bad weather and wind loading etc. I'll be hoping to get a heavier duty jack .. I could simply replace it but it seems to me I might be able to push my 62 East limit a little further .. Not by much as this would be limited by arm extension ..but the limit switch has been set to prevent the arm hitting the mount and pushing further than 62 East.(as indicated by the blue arrow in the photo Fully retracted I can reach 58W ... So ..it occurred to me simply drilling a new hole to mount the actuator as shown in the photo by the yellow ring ..might allow a bit more arc before binding on the polar mount... Comments welcomed ..as are rough estimates of extra arc aquired in degrees ..?? I may have to up the jack size to achieve this ..but might me a problem with the wall behind Christina .. Pity they dont make one in between around 30 inches .. Currently 24" ..next size 36" ...which is truely overkill. [/QUOTE]
