AZ-GTI Counterweight M20 to M12 adapter for using weightlifting weights

When I converted my Skywatcher AZ-GTI mount to equatorial mode, I needed a good and flexible counterweight. I decided to buy cheap weightlifting weights online, and make an adapter from the weightlifting 21mm rod to the 12mm rod used for the AZ-GTI In my setup I bought two 1,2 kg weights that I used together - however I have made the thread so you can add only one if you need less weight. You secure it with a M8 bolt - ideally 60mm or longer to get a bit clear from the weight. Also - consider the M12 end-cap is a security measure in case you one day secure the weights a bit too losely.
