On my train there are quite a few dovetails, if that's what they're called.
The FLI one has proven to be the least concern and was extremely easy to seat flat/flush. The FW also bolts firmly through the camera body.
Issues for me have been MOAG->precise parts adaptor -> Pyxis rotator -> optec to PW Hedrick focuser adaptor. All of which are those damn pinch bolt dovetail things. The whole thing requires very careful assembly on a bench before lifting the train onto the back of the scope. If I keep struggling with adapters I'll be ripping off the rotator and just going directly to the focuser using the secure fit adapters which are much better, so I hear at least. Rotator is nice to have but not really needed given the field size/shape of the 16803.
