If you already have the dovetail with your 80, it would be good to use that directly, but it's probably too short, hence Trever's suggestion of the ADM dovetail setup.
I also mounted a short quiding f5.5 refractor atop my C8 and used a local 13.5" dovetail. Made up a couple of small aluminium "straps" to bolt it to existing holes in my older C8 end plates. I can send some photos for inspiration if you're interested. Works great.
