Mount question from noob

I'm wondering if a Losmandy gm8 mount has the same dovetail mount as a cg-5/vixen GP mount. I have a Celestron C8, I bought a cg-5 mount and sold the fork mount. I need to get the plate to allow me to slide it into Dovetail mount on the cg-5 mount. I cant seem to locate the correct plate.

The cg-5 and Losmandy use different dovetails. Either should be available from Anacortes. Or, if you have a machine shop, you can make them fairly easily.
