Are the nut sizes for the Slimline AZ/EL mount listed anywhere? I'd rather climb a ladder with one or two sockets instead of a handful.

1/2 inch. Its easier if you have both a nutdriver and a wrench.

So a 1/2 inch socket will fit every lockdown nut and every adjustment bolt head that I will need to turn to tweak the AZ & EL?

I always use 13mm. but that's just because the 95 dish doesn't work with the smaller 1/2. Anyways

Yes. I use a 1/2" socket and wrench for assembly, a 1/2" nut driver for fine tuning, and finally lock down the adjustment nuts with the 1/2" socket.

If you have it handy, take 7/16 with you as well..

I didnt know 13 mm was bigger than 1/2 inch. I will try it next time.

OK, but only if you tell me what I might use it on or need it for.

To make sure your F-connectors are nice and snug.

Yup. Just enough so it will work on all worldirect bolts which a 1/2 won't. :grin:

Gear-wrench style 1/2" is what I use everyday.
