However, it became apparent at the design stage that if I just made a copy of the dovetail clamp system then this alignment you are after would not work.
To get around this and allow alignment I use the clamp system on the enc. pic (please, nobody tell anyone about this... it's my living ) and as you can see I do not machine the 15 degree dovetail, rather just a straight slot. The M6 hole is the standard star-spinner bolt to initially hold the bar in place while the four M4 bolts are for fine lateral adjustment and main clamping/locking of the bar. Two of these are then bolted on an aluminium dovetail 330mm long, one at each end. I am assuming though that your dovetail has the adjusting bolts at each end to raise the rings.

Thanks Aurthur,
one question though, I don't have or use tube rings? your mount does allow for lateral adjustment, do you do something to allow for vertical? Or is that what the tube rings do?
