I'm probably not one to offer advice on this but with my ED80 and HEQ5 I use a finderguider: a straight through finderscope with the end removed and an adapter (from modern astronomy in the UK) added so I can screw my camera onto it. I've kept the finder mount too, but removed the spring loaded bolt and wrapped the end of the finder tube up in some cloth and tape and jammed it all into the holder and tightened the two screws that are left. Very precise work! Anyway it sits in there very solidly (no flexing) and I can still use the screws to get it in line with the scope. Of course you could mount it all in a much neater way.
