Pics are here.

The current focuser is a Bintel 10-1 fine focuser for which I had to modify the telescope by putting three holes further in (fourth was not possible). The original focuser (included) can be quite easily retrofitted with the new holes completely covered.

The Bintel focuser I found was very loose in its travel so this too has been modifed to tighten up its motion which I needed to use my heavier two inch EP and barlow.

Cheers
