CI 700 saddle plate....HELP!

My used CI 700 came with no saddle plate. Thinking this would work......I ordered one from Losmandy. Scott mentioned that the DEC clutch knobs may be in the way.....but I said send one anyway. well guess what....It won't work unless I machine a riser block to allow the knobs to clear!!

So what do I do ? Perhaps a Robin Cassidy G-11 saddle plate. I noticed the locking knobs are located front and rear not a single center clamp.

Suggestions please.........

Tom, have you checked the Anacortes website for Mount Accessories. I think either WO or Losmandy make one that will work. The regular G-11 saddle plate indeed only has one clamp knob in the center, but I am pretty sure there are some out there that have two. Then you just have to get the new holes drilled correctly.
