Q: 1. My AT130EDT handle length requires a hole spacing of 212mm (8 5/16"); will this Losmandy dovetail work? Thanks.

A: If using the 60 mm spaced holes, Losmandy recommends the LO-DAP4/5/6/7 plate instead of this plate. It ships with the lower profile 1/4-inch-20 cap screws that would otherwise need to be purchased separately with the LO-DUP-N.
