Question ?? New Focuser for LB

I'm sick of looking at my current focuser modified by shims and washers!
It's the only way to get it perpendicular to the OTA. As I'm currently flocking the tube, pulling everything appart, I wish I had a set of adjustable footscrews on the focuser baseplate.

I'm thinking of getting a 'Moonlite Focuser' CR Newtonian 8:1 ratio with brass compression ring drawtube.

Any suggestions or advise on drawtube length (1" - 2.75") and spacer width would be great.
Or maybe an alturnative. Nothing over $300.
Any problems with this type of focuser on a 12"LB?

Thoughts...
