I have an old orange tube C8 that i want to put on the LXD 55 mount and cannot find a mounting plate that would attach to the bottom of the C8 and fit in the LXD 55. Anyone know if this part exists or any other options, thanx, Vince

should be no problem to find one; just look for the cg-5 dovetail bar used on the 8" g8 scopes (mounted to a cg-5 gem). My guess is you can find one used in no time flat. I'm 99.9% sure the lxd-55 head is identical to a cg-5/GP (dovetailwise at least)
