Incremental Progress to GOTO

Every night, I learn something new. Tonight, it was that having adjusted the polar axis to the right latitude, the locking bolts need to be tightened.  These are either M8 or M10 Allen wrenches and my garage is too chaotic preparing to move to find my metric Allen wrenches at this hour. 

UPDATE: While the screw threads might be metric, a 3/32" Allen head wrench fits perfectly. Or it needed a 2.38mm metric Allen head wrench. As much as most of the world is supposedly metric, the reality of a U.S. market prevents getting too far off our standard.

  1. I would affix the required hex keys to the device with a chain or something similar....
