Which dovetail for HEQ5?

[blusky]

Looking for a cost-effective alternative please. Something to connect an 8" newt with 235mm mounting rings to HEQ5. Thanks.

Why an alternative? £20 isn't the most expensive item in the world you will buy, and it plain works

Keep an eye on ABS, they come up for less than that too.

Not exactly a £20, and how does it attach to the mounting rings? Thanks.
