    At work we use "Bostik Never Seez" Under lock and key as expensive. Molykote do an alternative a lot cheaper don't know if you can get a few gram's in a tube https://www.dupont.com/products/molykote-p-37-antiseize-paste.html

    For me I once had my OVL FF locked onto a spacer. I bathed the spacer up to the joint in some warm water to heat it up a little and it gave in. no harm to the OVL FF

  16. fozzybear
    Well my friend in the UK has not yet received it so a pain will give the supplier till end of the month then search for another copy and seek a refund via Abebooks . The last one well certainly is a hidden treasure and expensive. Andy

    As per the attached image
  18. fozzybear
    and the hole in the middle of the 2 screws is for a dead man switch (install a bolt there ) as if you ever loosen the dovetail in the mount and you are not on the ball the scope will slip backwards and hit the deck ouch
  19. fozzybear
    as per Stu
  20. fozzybear
    they are there because that is there purpose underneath the tube rings
  21. fozzybear
    anyway looks like a spring washer so the user can rotate the bracket for your purpose not needed
  22. fozzybear
    I don't use washers there as serves no purpose as the lip on the dovetail takes the (whats the english word) strain/rigidity
  23. fozzybear
    Your first image what is the U shaped black bracket for? as per the dovetail rails you would mount the tube rings onto the dovetail rail as per pic 2 long bar upper one (longer) in its current orientation
  24. fozzybear
    Josh One of these should do the job just unscrew existing rear plate and screw this in its place https://www.modernastronomy.com/shop/accessories/finder-guider-adapters/fg-sky-watcher-clones/skywatcher-clones-to-c-mount-adapter-for-straight-through-finders/

    Daz you are going to need at least 50mm extension attached to the focus tube up to you either threaded or push fit.
