Talking How to fit a Bintel Crayford to a SkyWatcher?

Oh dear!!!

I recently purchased a BinTel 2" Crayford focuser to replace the standard R&P that comes with the SkyWatcher. I have this afternoon discovered a flaw in my master plan however....

The SkyWatcher has a very large hole with the screws spaced at 85mm, while the Crayford has 70mm between the holes.

Is there any form of "adapter plate" available for these, or am I going to have to bodgy up something that looks awlful?

Any ideas would be most greatfully accepted.
