I've just been having a look at your picture and remembering how my 8" used to mount to it's wedge. Instead of going between the tripod and superwedge base, how about placing the wedge "wedge" between the base of the telescope and the latitude adjustment plate of the existing wedge. That way you don't compromise the connection between tripod and wedge base which is the important connection. If you put it between the scope base and the adjustment plate you will have three bolts to go through your new wedge and it will be sandwiched between the adjustment plate and the base of the scope.
If any of that makes any sense
