This seems to be a common problem with R25. Like the T2X, the M^2
Orion OR-2800 is just a tad too big to fit inside the cross braces. Has
anyone investigated making spacers tubes to go between section joints?
Seems like this would be a good way of opening up space for a rotator
if care were taken not to weaken the structure.
