Nice work. The standard 45deg. elbow works for you at 45deg LAT, but us at 34.1deg LAT will have to resort to custom fab to meet our polar axis alignment.
That is a pretty amazing mount. I am working on a similar mount for my 12.5 inch f/7 Newtonian reflector. I am using two inch fittings and 12x 1 1/2 inch i.d nipples with Babbitt as the bearings.
Where did you purchase the three inch fittings? I have been looking for these without success.
I'm impressed
