LX200 equatorial wedge mounting problem

Hey all

I have an 8" LX200-ACF which I had intended to put on a Meade Equatorial Wedge (http://www.bintel.com.au/Mounts---Tr...oductview.aspx).

I've discovered that the thread at the front of the telescope base is too large for the screws that are used for attaching it and the other attachment points to the wedge (pictures attached below).

Has anyone else run into this problem?
Is there some way to fix this?
