Hi Michael,
Is it a 8" or 10" newt? I am refurbishing a LXD 10" SN tube ATM and have changed to a D bar from the standard V bar.
A D bar will allow better torsional rigidity, but I really wanted two mounting holes at the bottom of each ring to minimise movement. So far, I have not had much luck getting rigid 10" rings with 2 mounting holes, so I have secured original rings on to a 40cm long D bar.
I am still refurbishing the scope, but hope the final result will be within my EQ6 payload limit.
Will post some photos once the refurbishment is done.
Bo
