Help please.

Hey all,

I recently purchased a bintel 10:1 focuser after being told that i would only have to drill some new holes into the OTA of my skywatcher 12" scope to fit the new bracket.

The focuser arrived today. Well there IS NO WAY i can just "drill a couple of holes." to fit the new bracket as the new bracket is so small that the holes on it sit half over the rim of the focuser hole in the OTA.

Does anyone have a solution to this that does not require me to shape and cut a new peice of metal that i have to mount over the hole so i have something to drill into?

cheers

Michael
