I subsequently made one similar to http://www.optcorp.com/telescope-acc...rc6-and-8.html where the two plates are locked together and thus no variable sag, as it were. A much better design. There are various sizes at Optcorp, Telescop-express.de and Bintel (I think) and you should be able to get something suitable for your rig

Thanks Charles. Perhaps I should make my own.2 plates with adjusting grub screws may do it. The lacking out is working but I think th eflex is slightly variable with the angle but not by much.
