To mount the tube on the TTS Panther I have decided to use a plate direct mounted instead of tube rings to save some weight.
I epoxy glued a 6mm plate made of laminated marine ply and carbon. Another layer of 600 gsm carbon goes over the top so I need the transition from tube to plate to be comprised of gentle curves. Automotive bog was used to achieve this, I used this technique a lot when I used to work at a boat repair workshop.
This solid and flat mounting area gives the losmandy plate somewhere to screw on, hopefully it is long enough at 550mm to achieve balance.
