Pete, please excuse me for a moment...
Hi Ernie, thanks for asking.
well the whole point of it was so i could use all 4 versa plate plungers to grip the CDK dovetail, because believe it or not, I found it to be much more stable when all 4 were working.
But when using all 4 plungers, the Dec axis was to rear end heavy, so i made up the simple contraption you see bolted to the underside of the front of the versa plate. It has a sliding weight on it to accommodate different equipment and 2 locking collars either side of the weight with a piece of rubber between the weight and each collar so things dont go clunk as i slew over the sky.
