Hi Mark, thanks for the suggestions. I have just test fitted the tube cradle and am also inclined to go with a red tube and polished brass tube weights etc.
I have a Berry&Mackay refractor from the second half of the 19th century but no diagonal, I might have to make a brass casing for a 1.25" diag.

I have also got a quote from Danny at Crawmach to build me a 1.25" focuser with brass knobs etc.

Here is the tube holder in place.
