I can see a problem with this.

7 - Replacement of all the axis plastic washers by high quality precision steel German made washers

That means that they will rust. why not use stainless streel ones?

Looks good though.

They'll be covered in a lqyer of grease - I can't see how they would rust unless the mount fills with water.

That's what i though about the bearings in my EQ6. (Still in bits)
