Well, that's interesting.
I found 2 finder scope holders. The photos show them both. The " single-piece " one has 6 adjusting screws and is designed to be screwed into a newtonian OTA. It has 57mm at one end and 59mm at the other - so plenty of room for adjustment.

The other one is still a single cast piece but is designed to sit in a shoe - which I don't seem to have.

But it too has plenty of room for adjustment with openings of 61 mm - it is one of those with 2 screws and one spring-loaded point at each end. Not meant for guiding but fine as a finder.

SO you can actually nominate the holder of your choice.
