    Hi everybody.Sorry if i am posting in the wrong place...
    A long shot but worth trying...If someone has a CG5 mount for braking please get in touch with me.I am looking for :
    Locking screw from the tripod legs.
    Dust cap from polar finder.
    Metal cone from counter weigh shaft.the one that is after the mount head.
    And polar finder.Doesnt have to be celestron one as long as it works with CG5 GT mount.
    Thanks for looking.

    Regards
    Martin

    I would also post this on Cloudynights Site as "Wanted" - as long as part aren't too heavy, most guys are from the States but they are very helpful. Managed to get parts for my LXD75 for next to nothing from a nice member up there.

    Thanks,
    yes thats a good place to look for stuff that is usually not awailable on this side of the pond...
    Thought going to give a shot over here first, with the popularity of the mount here in Ireland there is bound to be one non working somewhere...

    Steve from first light optics posted about a CG5 being stripped for parts on the Stargazer's Lounge recently. They might still have the parts you're looking for.
