Ahh just happened to see this thread.
Bill's spot on the money with the description Paul. NO problem with FT focuser for the VC200L. Email Wayne at FT for more info(if he's still there). If you want to see more pictures, PM me and I'll help out.
Simple parts change, and FT focuser is superb. Brake system, internal baffling, M60 FR adapter, 3-pt focuser locking, and to top it off a swish Wireless Microtouch focusing kit.
I'm interested to hear about your mirror return and recoat. I have a 2nd VC200L mirror with a bad case of fungi leftovers.
