Can I use the "AP900 Hi-Lo Latitude Wedge for 0-20 or 68-88 Deg" for G11 mounts?

Recent GM8 mount has the latitude range for our region.

hi arief,
you do not need a wedge for GM8 all along. G11 yes. If you are interested, i can show you the wedge sample. no need to make any modifications to the mount, hence preserving integrity of it.

Hi Remus, thanks! i'll just come down to see you the next time you set up your E200 on the G11.
Btw, I thought I found a G11 for the price of a GM8 on AM, but the seller prefer a local sale :-( , fortunately I managed to locate an EM-100 with NJP drives upgrade :-)

I just bought an EM-100 from AM (without the AP tripod and the Cassady weights):

Hopefully this mount can take my 20lbs 10" Newt comfortably.
