Yeah, I'd worked it all out based on the flange extenders available for the Nite Crawler but Ron advised that they don't make them for the Lite Crawler (since the whole point of them is to be lower profile).
With my primary in its current position, I have about 4.5" from the face of the lower flange on the OTA, to the focal plane. With the custom flange Ron's making it'll take up about 3" of that. The Lite Crawler will come with a set of 0.25", 0.5" and 1" drawtube extension rings (and I already have a 2"). These are threaded adapters, not dodgy thumbscrew jobs. I can also easily move my primary down 30mm or 60mm due to the design of the ONTC tube.
Looks like the tilt isn't as easily adjusted with the Lite Crawler as it is on the standard Moonlites. I just bought a Gerd Neumann 68mm camera tilting unit which will take up ~17mm of the available distance as well.
