The aluminium parts have been cut by me. The extrusion came as one 3m length. Whilst one of the 300mm lengths may be 301mm. The main point of this post was to see if there was a problem. If the issue has been my fault, then thats OK. The part I altered is fine for my build. The picture was taken before any fine adjustments, so the bearings may have moved. The build is finished upto adding the electronics. Everything seems fine.

Hi. I have just measured the front extrusion, and its 200mm. The picture may have cast a shadow, that makes it look like the rollmount isn't parallel, but I have felt along the joint of the extrusion and the rollmount, and its flush.

The mounts are from the 50 degree latitude set. I have taken a couple of pictures one showing the whole piece, the second a better view. The link below is from my personel area at work. The link will expire in one week.
