Abstract
It is presently shown that a simple sunspot model with azimuthal variations in inclination, but lacking azimuthal field-strength variations, is free from azimuthal Lorentz forces. The meridional currents arising from the inclination variations are parallel to the field lines, suggesting that a cylindrically symmetric magnetostatic sunspot model can be perturbed into one with azimuthal variations in inclination with adjustment of the meridional force balance.
