Use some elbow grease on it to make sure it's a good tight grip if you don't the OTA will slide off the top of the GEM's head.
I can ashore you Ian that the bolts were tight . The trouble is that I have found out that Meade has made all their equipment slightly bigger or smaller then everyone else so their can be no swapping of parts .But as the old saying goes "THEIR IS MORE THEN ONE WAY TO SKIN A CAT" and I did find that way ,thanks for your help
