Modifying a Skywatcher AZ5 mount?

I am tempted to get one of these, but do not like the vixen dovetail clamp on it, just no appeal in them damaging dovetails! :rolleyes2:

Therefore, I was wondering can this be easily swapped for a better one from ADM or such like? Please consider my poor engineering skills, when thinking about this. I can do limited stuff, but nothing to complex as I lack the tools; experience and confidence. :smiley:

The dovetail is held on with 3 screws so provided the replacement has multi fixing holes it shows be a simple job. I f drilling new holes is required then I am sure it would be a fairly simple task. If you don’t have a drill I would be more than happy to do it for you.
