These are available at Andrews if you need to convert a mount (to suit vixen/eq5 dovetail) :

Is there one that accepts either a 75mm wide CGE bar or a 100 mm Losmandy dovetail?

AFAIK GSO only makes saddles for the smaller vixen dovetail.

Tony,

It's tremendously useful putting the ruler in your shot. I spoke to Luke from StarStuff http://www.starstuff.com.au/ yesterday - cause his gear and machining capabilities look real interesting.

On the WO gear - the combo looks nice as does the Vixen Style Dovetail

But what extra gear do you need to mount a C9.25 do such a plate (given its round and the plate is flat)?

Off all the rigs I've viewed over the internet I like John's best

Build around the Robyn Casady tandem bar.
