I actually drilled four inner holes to mount it but you can use countersunk bolts from the inside of the plate and use the original 85mm spaced holes. I also put a thin rubber seal under the plate.

Alternatively if you want to spend an extra $100 check out the link in my message above for a focuser body that will fit inside the SW R&P mounting plate. They do a complete range of sizes. Alternatively do a Google search, there's a lot of stuff out there.
