RA and DEC Axis's Braking Systems - DEC Axis Brake Teflon® Pad Pivoting Arms

Click for an Enlarged View

By placing a pair of the arms on top of the DEC Axis Braking System (attached on one of the Fork Tine with 5/8" DEC Axis installed), it gave me a pretty good idea where to drill the holes for pivot of the arms. Then holes would be drilled into the pivoting arms near the end under the Teflon pad. Corresponding holes would be drilling through both the outside and inside plates (with T-Nuts mounted to underside of the inside plate) that sandwich the arms, allowing for a screw to be inserted for proper pivoting of the arms.
