Trying To Attach an iOptron CEM60 Mount To A Celestron CGE Heavy Duty Tripod

[jpelli]

Folks,
Can someone solve my problem? I want to purchase an iOptron CEM60 Mount and attach it to a Celestron CGE Heavy Duty Tripod in order to avoid purchasing a new tripod to solve the problem. Attached is a photo of an iOptron Top plate used to attach to the mount. How do I attach itb to the tripod base in the picture? Thank you.

Drill and tap it.
