Anyone have lobang for machine shop?

[Fuzzy]

Anyone own a machine shop, or know friendly places who don't mind doing a simple one off piece?

I need an adapter plate to fit a WO Saddle to a GSO Skyview EQ Mount, the mounting points are different.

Was thinking a plate around 1cm thick should do it. Would need 4 holes drilled and tapped for M6.

Something like this

Anyone have a more elegant solution for this?


For some reason I can't upload pics to my Gallery here, so I had to put them offsite.

OT:

Actually I wouldn't recommend you to mount it on because

- the mount's loading capacity will be "wasted" in the saddle, so in the end you can only mount light scopes and u will need quite a lot of counterweight.

This may work:

hmm thats a good point, thanks.

I may have to sell off my WO Saddle and Plate and go get that instead.
