WHAM4 SEI HEPI Progress/Status

Mitchell and I got one more set (Pier 1, NW) of HEPI Actuators installed.  We ran into a problem though with the tilted tripod bar running into the Sensor Holster and locking up losing adjustablility.  I've noticed the closeness of this before but had never heard of a problem from LLO HEPI experience.  Anyway, we could not adjust the position to center the sensor without jamming/tilting the holster and locking it into position.  So we've taken the holster off and will mil it down a bit to give it some more clearance.  Definitely an issue to watch for during commissioning incase we incounter problems when adjusting Sensor Zero.  See attached sketch for idea of problem.  Who'd a thunk 30mils clearance would never be too little?
