Dove Tail & BO Ring

Here is a photo of the my Apogee dove tail and the BO Ring. They just dont fit any way you mix them. There is a space between the ring and the dove tail using the inner hole and the bottom of the ring is not flat to use the outter hole. Either way the Bolt we waited for is to short and wont work without some modification to the ring or dove tail.

Hi Greg
Could you tell me what the distance is that is needed for the dovetail to fit? I have a 1278 coming and have a unistar mount and don't know if the rings will fit over my 3" plate. My mount is made to fit without the dovetail bar. The rings need to fit over my 3" plate. I may have to do some modifying. I would appreciate this information. Thanks Matt
