Hi Jeff.
My 0.5 m spacing actually is 0.85 m and the primary outer diameter is 1.1
m. Not
like your specs but at least nearer than what I wrote in my previous mail...
By the way, have you ever experienced metal bolts and nuts (e.g. for the
mounting of the primary) getting warm during runs? Is that really an issue?
