Perhaps you can replace the rack and pinion with a GSO Crayford, maybe even find a used one. If so, it's quite easy to make up a simple one-piece aluminium bracket to mount your Skywatcher focuser to it. I did this with my SW 8" newt, and it works just fine. No backlash.
If you later buy the Shoestring FCUSB, it will also drive the SW focuser, and allow you to remotely focus via a PC USB port if you wish.
Good luck.
