I had to pad out some gso rings to fit my 10" skywatcher newt. I used some strips of high density neoprene rubber from Clark Rubber and also found rotating and sliding the tube for balance difficult due to excessive grip, so I got some felt from spotlight and contact glued some strips to the rubber. It slides and rotates easily now but still clamps down tight.
