Silv, I had to add 25mm to my mirror supports to bring it to focus on the DSLR at prime. About the additional distance of the CCD sensor to the EP as opposed to where your eye would be.
I use an extender for a few EPs but as I am heading into Astrophotog that will be a minor issue.
I just added three equal distance 25 mm spacers I made up on the lathe, longer adjustment bolts and shifted the mirror plane up without cutting or major alterations to the OTA. The mirror got a wash at the same time.
