Have attached a picture of the base dimensions
Try and use the centre hole as well, as it stiffens
the RA axle.

The RCX base isnt the same "structurally" but the bolt patterns are.
I guess this saved Meade having to make a second type of wedge
just for the RCXs

Hi Andrew
Sounds right for today's businesses, use same regardless of weight difference.
