If you have the parts pictured then I assume that the filter wheel is already on the camera? It is then just a case of using four screws (Which should be provided) to attach the OAG to the front of the filter wheel. If you have attached the filter wheel on the front of the tilt plate, I would remove it all, then put the filter wheel straight on the camera, the OAG on the filter wheel and then the tilt plate on the front of the OAG. It should end up looking like mine does (Last pic) and you won't have any more gear hanging off your Newt than me.
You could set it up without the coma corrector to start with but the results will suffer until you have it. How much I can't say as I have never used mine without.

Thanks Paul..you have said a few things that have helped greatly...everything appears to be the same..everything is separate and all new stuff..camera, filter wheel, OAG, Asiar, EAF Mount and of course the pier... only the scope is not new for this exercise.
I was going from focuser out but your way I will try...I guess I need to pull some stuff apart to fit the bolts..but I am talking from memory as it is all away from me in the observatory...And it is raining and my mower has no roof so later I will look...
Another thing I think I was probably too tired and casual...it seems like one needs to give it some good attention ...And I think I will assemble it on my bed so those little bits don't disappear down the many holes in the floor...I learnt that the hard way.
I really appreciate you helping me ..something resonates with the way you put it...thank you.
Alex
