Mine is a snug fit - the sides of the bearings touch each plate. I'll take some photos at some stage and post them. I still want to put the brace in place - mainly to put an eyepiece rack up at reasonable height. On the 8", it wasn't a problem. On the 12" I find myself having to reach down too far from my gaslift chair.
