Stand-off to allow free rotation of camera?

[jimjam11]

I want to ditch the need to piggyback my widefield ota so it can attach directly to my mount but that presents a couple of issues:

1. It is always tail heavy and the WO dovetail is too short. I now have a 400mm losmandy bar but I think I will still need to add some counterweight to the front.

2. The FW and OAG crash into everything (OTA in piggyback or mount plate if not) which prevents free rotation, especially when combined with the cabling which exits the dec plate at the rear.

Has anyone got an cunning solutions to this? I think some kind of standoff is required so that I can slide the losmandy plate further up and saddle (and mount the OTA where I want on the plate)...
