[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 915598, member: 178786"] Martin, Many thanks for the photos and the plan. Just to confirm if I understand it all correctly, it is as follow: 1. Take the actuator arm out of the actuator sleeve including the worm drive, discard, not required. 2. Cut back the actuator sleeve to give visibility to the slot that the worm drive did fit into. 3. Cut back a short socket extension bar and tidy it up to it fits into the hole left by the removal of the worm drive. 4. Get a 4mm thick metal plate and bolt it to the side of the mount and fix the actuator motor to the plate with a clamp. Assuming I have the plate on the side of the mount and the actuator clamped to the mount I am now lost/stuck. Where does the 13mm socket come into this, ie, from the actuator motor to the Az-El mount how do the cut back socket extension bar and socket come into play? From your pictures it looks as though the socket is going to fit over the nut on top of the mount and is held in place by the natural compression of the dish wanting to tilt forwards? The elevation is then adjusted using the actuator motor under compression by pressing down on the top plate of the mount to increase elevation and removing pressure the decrease elevation?
