Bush mechanics solution...how about facing 2 of the 3 tripod legs towards the SCP and then lowering the one leg facing the NCP..work out the diffrence using a spirit level and protractor from the top of the tripod...
For the balance..how about a weighted ring?...get some flexable clear plastic hose from bunnings long enough to wrap around the primary mirror end... (choose a diameter that will fit between the fork tyne and the optical tube)...drill a hole in each end so you can use a piece of strong elastic to secure it to the scope...fill the hose with enough sand as needed and block the ends with a rag, some blu-tac, followed by some tape over the ends..or you can try another weighted ring method..
Good luck!!
BTW..very impressive rig you have there!!
