Mounting woes

Hey everyone,

Just got a Celestron C130 and a Skyscan 2001 - which is apparently an EQ3-2 clone.

I have a problem though! It appears the Celestron C130 and the Skyscan 2001 are incompatible with each other, and I don't think the seller realised - I believe she was hooking it up with a bolt onto the "photo tripod hole" in the C130's mount. I'd prefer a bit more of a sturdy setup than that.

I've attached two photos, and I hope you all can help! Although it is a bit rainy here at the moment, I'd like to get it sorted for when the clouds clear up.
