but, i found that can't fit screw diameter. my EdgeHD's screw hole is small to not to insert screw.

it looks screw hole filled some kind of metal pipe. how should i do? can i remove this metal pipe?

You probably need to contact the retailer.

Hi

Thanks for replay

I think celestron did put pipe for some reason

Looks for use more small screw

I have the same scope and have fitted this bar with no problems. Remove the original vixen rail the remove the 2 Allen key grub screws and the new bar should fit ok.
