Wanted: e bay EQ3 (Lin Optics) non standard dovetail plate

As the title says I am looking for an e bay EQ3 (Lin Optics) non standard dovetail plate as I have a small scope that needs mounting on such a mount. Let me know if you have one and the price (piccy would be nice to confirm).

Cheers,
Darren

Will take a piccy when I can Mike. I can get the dimensions for you. Its one of those (numerous) so called EQ3 mounts that come with a dovetail. I need just the dovetail. I have seen several scope mounted on this mount, a 6" and 4.5"ST cat newt and a 6"f/5 newt.

It does look like it Does it have a groove down the middle of the dovetail plate? Anyway can you give me the dimensions of the plate. I will go home and measure the dovetail myself. The dovetail is currently used with my C6 and I want a separate one for my 4"ST refractor.

Cheers,
Darren
