<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;">I've been messing with DP&W racks and a ratcheting load binder
(the barrel kind with eyes on both ends),
in place of the adjuster bar. I've also installed a greased thrust plate on top of the pole (under the cap) so folks who'd care to can adjust azimuth. Just make sure to mark solar south. (I use a center punch). sometimes I'll weld a flat bar or something fun to the cinch bolts. db<br><br><br>

He all<br>
I need help designing or buying a seasonal adjuster. I have a customer that<br>
insists on a seasonal adjustment. They would like 30 degrees summer side of<br>
equinox and 50 degrees winter side. Wants to adjust twice a year at<br>
equinox. Rack to be 3 sets of 3 modules each on two rails. <br>
<br>
Every time I have tried this it is heavy and very difficult to do. <br>
