Attaching GM-8 SP saddle plates to a Giro-2

I just purchased a Giro-2 DX and would like to attach a Losmandy GM-8 SP saddle plate for quick mounting/release of my Losmandy Dovetail mounted scopes.

Has anyone done this? Do you use one of the existing outside holes on the saddle plate and just drill out an appropriately spaced on in the middle? What is the size of the mounting screws?

I'd appreciate pictures of the completed operation if someone has done this.

Thanks

Greg,

I purchased the Giro-2 DX with GM-11 Saddle plate from ITE two month ago. The other half of the equation is 13.5 in DUP plate with 7" Parallex Rings. I asked Bill at ITE to arrange all the necessary drilling.

Looks like TWO new holes are drilled on my G 11 saddle plate to mactch the spacing on the Gir0-2. That way the center point of the saddle plate matchs the center face of the Giro 2. Makes it easier to achieve optimum balance.
