I need
A couple of months ago, I bought a set of 4.5 inch rings for my dusty old reflector. I also bought a new solid aluminium dovetail bar for my 10 inch. This meant I now had a spare dovetail bar to connect this old telescope of mine to my lxd55 mount.
My dilemma: how do I attach the dovetail bar to the telescope rings?
The rings themselves are pretty simple. There is a hole on both rings for an attachment of some sort but that hole is bigger than the one on the bar.
I'll get a picture posted up of each item soon. They are awaiting surgery at my dad's place but I thought I would ask you knowledeable folks before I drilled anything. The rings also didn't come with the bolts to secure the rings in place once mounted so I would also like to know what would be appropriate bolts and where could I get them from.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
