Over-tightened the Clutch of the AZ GTi Mount

Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!

Over-tightened the Clutch of the AZ GTi Mount

Post by jia siang »

6 months ago I bought AZ GTI tracking head. However, recently I over tightened the azimuth knob and it could not tighten anymore. After I took them apart, I notice that something popped out of the tightening clutch and I realised that it is the helicoil inserted inside the thread. i couldn't attach photo as file size too big

Hi
Is it broken or just came off ? You can try to bring it to McGill.com.sg 's shop and see if they can help ? Repair may not be free but he has access to the manufacturer as he is an authorized agent.
