Paul,
I made the mounting plate myself if you take a look at my scope you will notice the larger attaching bolts that make it so much easier to take on and of, it can then be bolted straight to a dovetail plate to mount on a regular eq.
The weight system I am using is a 3D system on a full length slide that also balances the tube when in a vertical position, this gives complete balance over the full range of movement, I also made this myself as the price of Meade and Losmandy gear to me is just ridiculous.
I should add it does help having acces to an engineering shop.
