But does anyone know if it is possible to make similar upgrades to a Sirius mount? Are there kits of upgrade/replacement parts for the Sirius? And what would this gain me... more tracking stability? Greater weight capacity? Or both? --Dave E. Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 14 registered and 21 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
