Can someone do some milling work for me?

[Octane (Humayun)]

I think I have one of those plates. It's too small.

I'll have a look tomorrow and get back to you.

Thanks, mate.

You can space the rings for the FS60 CLOSER - there is no real benefit spacing them wide.

Sorry, I tell fibs. I just had a look. I have a small ADM-clone. The far right one.

OK, so, the one you have, what I need is there to be at the very least, a 130mm gap, between the centre holes, so that they can go on to the two camera UNC bolts on top of the clamshells. That's the distance I just measured.

Ah, I think that one might do the trick, actually.

Let me know where to send some cash.

H, I thought you are in Caloundra, if I had realized you are down this way I too would sent you Specialty Fasteners. If you do need drilling done do let me know, I have access to equipment in Fyshwick.

Matt,

I moved back earlier this year.

Thank you, so much, for the offer. I'll be in touch, if required.

I have a nasty feeling that the plate I bought off Lewis doesn't have the right holes for the Parallax rings. My rings are for the FS-60CB and the cap head bolt holes are 40mm apart. The ADM ring's holes are 2" apart.

Will see how we go.
