Wow, sounds like things are coming along Brett! Must be one nice scope now you have it in your hands?
You've pretty well got 2 choices for joining things up usually - adaptors with 2" fittings with thumbscrews (like you'd use for eyepieces) - easy, fast to rotate, potentially more movement (bad).

OR screw in fittings - firm hold, but more time to fit and usually you have to work to get the right spacings. For DSLRs and T-rings usually not too bad, for often for CCDs you might have to resort to specialty adaptor makers (e.g. Precise Parts)

This also often helps ensure your new hobby remains financially extravagent
