So looks I can actually use ANY set of Meade 8" forks!
Last night I had another look at the old forks I have, took a different approach to coupling the OTA to the forks and they fit! All I needed to do was ease a little wider apart the rear two holes of the mounting plates and that was it. Same tube diameter too!
So, I have changed my request to ask for ANY set of Meade forks! The set I have works, but it has seen better days, and I don't know if it will last the distance.
Thanks for looking,
Alex .
