I'm looking for more secure options on fitting my Telrad to my C9.25 after having had good quality d/ble sided tape fail twice, the second time resulting in damage to the Telrad. I know there are screw holes in the Telrad base so I guess I'm asking what is a safe method of screwing to the OTA?

Any and all advice appreciated.

I used Selleys wet area silicone sealant. Works okay.

There are sets of screws around the outside of the base and top ring of the 9.25" , you could use one of these points of attachment to secure the Back of the telrad and a foam double sided tape to secure the end. If the holes don't match up make something to mate the two. Silicone sealant might work but a bit messy ??

Acrylic foam tape (VHB). I have my Telrad bonded to my C11 with this stuff. I can pick up the OTA by the Telrad if I have to its that strong. Can be easily removed if necessary.

I used hot melt glue, the only issue you have is to get it right first go, within 5 secs you can't move it:question::D
