PVC mount for guide scope

Here is some images of PVC mounting for 102 Takahashi and 8 x 50 finder. The Tak mount is a 150mm PVC fitting cut in halves, each of them has 3 x 1/4" bolts for centring the scope. On the tube of the Tak is a 100mm PVC sleeve so that the bolts are not pushing directly on the tube.

They are just 1/4" diameter gutter bolts with washers mig welded on the end to use as a wing nut. The PVC is tapped out to that same thread and have put nuts on the inside also just incase the thread in the PVC stripps out. That is only a precaution.
