AP 900GTO

Does anyone know if a Losmandy G-11 Saddle Plate will fit on a AP900 head? If the bolt pattern does fit is a spacer necessary ? If it doesn't match up is there an adapter made ?

George,

No, the Losmandy saddle will not bolt directly onto the AP-900 and I don't know of anyone that makes an adapter. I guess you could pay someone to make one but I'd have to ask, Why? The AP saddle plates are far superior IMHO, they bolt down with 4 bolts versus Losmandy's 2. They also feature the tilt in design versus the slide in, have 2 locking knobs versus 1, have plate offset mounting for better scope balance.....
