I should have known better, just buy the Losmandy !

Wanted to defork my LX200 10 , hefting the fork mount onto a tripod is no longer fun for me. I purchased a dovetail from another vender and it was awful, less stiff and the radius blocks were thin. It also was too wide for my ADM side by side saddle. At least I can use it as a top rail for lighter accessories. The Losmandy rail fit my mount saddle like the precision part it is. Radius blocks are beefy and use three screws not 2.

Nice kit

I mounted this plate on top of my LX90 to hold my accessories like guidescope , DSLR camera or Telrad. Very easy to put on and it has a lot of holes where you can mount almost anything you can think of, some are threaded others are not. Its light for its size and very solid to hold every thing you can attached on it including the LX90 OTA if you decided to de-fork it and mount it on an equatorial. It comes with all the allen bolts you need for mounting.An extra short metal thumb screw is also provided to replace the ones on the standard finderscope of LX90 because mounting this on top hinders the operation of the finders scope long plastic thumbscrew. The only drawback is, they did not provide some allen tools for installation. But overall its all worth the price.
