Tony,
A couple of years ago I built a 12" reflector from bits I bought from Telescopes & Astronomy in Adelaide and plans I found in various websites.
Their website is
www.telescopes-astronomy.com.au
I was lucky enough that I drove to Adelaide regularly and was able to check out the parts and discuss the 'extras' I would need.
Matthew was very helpful and I think the end result is pretty good.
Anyway, I hope this is useful and wish you luck with your project.
