EQ3-2 Losmandy Plate Fitting

[groberts]

I have my refractor fitted to an EQ6 Mount using a Losmandy style plate - is there any way I can also use the set-up i.e. scope attached to Losmandy plate, to attach to my old EQ3-2 mount without having to take it off the Losmandy plate? Thanks.

As far as I am aware ADM manufacture a Losmandy / Sky watcher dovetail saddle plate, have a look at their web site or contact FLO

Contacted FLO with no luck.  The more I think about this the more I think I'm missing something / there must be a solution.  

The EQ3-2 is a very popular starter mount and the Losmandy plate is widely used = they should be able to work together, easily. I can and have rigged the plate up by screwing it onto a SW dovetail but I really just want to transfer the Losmandy plate + scope to the EQ3-2 without having to take things apart then screw them together again.  Any more thoughts please?

My guess its difficult because the EQ3-2 was not designed to carry to sort of loads that require the Losmandy attachment system.

Richie, you could be right thanks but at £88 I'll keep an eye on UK ASB first.
