What's the focal length of this 12" newt? Even if it's only F4 that's still a focal length of 48"... I wouldn't try it to be honest.
My EQ6 was unworkable with a 1.6m focal length 8" carbon fibre tube for imaging. Longer focal length but lighter (about 12kg I think, from memory) and quite short. I think you'd either spend a lot of time tweaking/modding your mount and being frustrated, or you'd simply give up and buy a bigger, more appropriate mount.
If this is for visual, I wouldn't know, I don't do visual, but I'd advise against it for imaging.
