Vixen half pier owners

Post by VinSnr »

For those who have this half-pier, I need your help a little.

I need to look at the top hub of this pier. The top hub is the piece which has the knob (to tighten to the mount) and the azimuth peg. The top hub is screwed onto the pier body with 4 screws.

If anyone has this pier, I would appreciate if I can come to your place and take a look at the top hub. I have a custom half pier, but I am not sure if the top hub can fit into this pier.

Anyone who has the half pier can spare me a little time? I will come to any place convenient to you to take a look at it.

Thanks

Hi,
Yes... anytime is ok, but afternoon will be better as I always wake up late on Saturday. :mrgreen: Do sms me before you came.

Have a nice day.

Unfortunately, the hit rate has been pretty low (nil) lately!
