Losmandy Dovetail bar query?

[g__day]

Guys anyone know these two queries

The Losmandy dovetail bar (DC9.25) that can attach to the exisitng holes on the bottom of a Celestron CF9.25 OTA - does it attach to the CG5 holes at the rear of the OTA (they are spaced 20 mm apart) or does it attach to the CGE holes (that are 40 mm) apart?

And secondly - does this bar simply attach to a GM-8 mounts Losmandy "D" series dovetail - or are any other parts needed to attach this type of bracket to a mount?

Many thanks!

Can't help you with a 9.25 but on the C-8 the radius blocks attach to 2 wide holes at the rear and a single hole in the front.

Any Losmandy 'D' Series dovetail will fit 'D' Series saddle plates by Losmandy, Cassady or BT Technologies. The 'D' series saddle's are now standard on all Losmandy mounts. If you are looking at an older GM-8, they came with the 'C' Series saddles, about an inch narrower.
