The focal plane height above the OTA surface needs to be (roughly) the length of the RCC1 plus the RCC1 backfocus distance of 91.5mm. The secondary needed to be at least 70mm diameter with the new mirror position - slightly bigger would have been better.
When I was using the MPCC, it just slotted in and worked straight off without an scope mods, which was a lot easier

Thanks Ray - looks like I'll be sticking with the MPCC for some time then!
