I want a focuser like yours for my 152mm BM as well. Could provide us with more details?

Which 152mm is it?  Some of the short tube 6" fracs have a lens built into the focuser and you can't change them.  If on the other hand you have an f8 (long) 6" you should be fine.  There are three focusers I know of that you can buy with flange adapters that can be bought for them. The Baader SteelTrack, GSO 2" Crayford and the Telesckop Service GSO copy. The TS copy is the best value for money.

Mine is an adapted SW Crayford from a Newt that I bought here on SGL.  I just took the faceplate off so it would fit a new flange and my uncle turned me a flange from an old 10kg bum bell weight and a piece of Ally he had lying around.

When I saw the thread title I was thinking that you had put your back out or something 

Glad to read you haven't. Congrats on getting your scope back.
