RA and DEC Axis's Braking Systems - Completed (Assembled) RA Axis Brake

Click for an Enlarged View

Finished and installed, the RA Axis Braking System looks quite at home inside of the RA Axis Support Housing. You can see the screw and spring tension adjustment units on both ends of the brake. To make it easier to get to the adjustment units, I will cut off the ends of the bolts that protrude from the insides of the RA Support Housing flush with the nuts. Also note how the teak's grain and color nicely contrasts the rest of the wooden components. Now lets move on to completing the Declination Axis Braking System by clicking on the arrow pointing to the right.
