Normally I thought you just matched length and size - but oh no - I could match that, plus pitch 8 / 32, but the thread width was distinctly unusual.
Matt, Bintel had the right screws, pitch and length, to attach a Losmandy bar to my C8. I forget if they threw them in or I had to pay for them. There's a place just down the road from home that probably has them too.
I have bars on both sides of the OTA - Losmandy to the mount and the Orion one with the guide scope package on the other.
