Butchered Dovetail

[yuklop]

I finally got the hump with my old Vixen / Orion dovetail not fitting on my larger mount with a 4 inch dual saddle. I was going to mount a homemade Losmandy bar under it, then realised if I put that on, it would no longer fit on the Sky-Tee. If I was loaded, I'd buy more Losmandy saddles or more vixen dovetail bars but what I lack in cash I make up for with an angle grinder. I guess this is cast iron, as it was a right resistant swine. Whatever it is they should make bike locks out of the same material.

Looks a bit of a mess, but it works just fine. A bit of Brasso and it'll be good as new.
