Very slick. Well done. On the ETX-60 base/forks that I bought, the mounting brackets were banged up so I pretty much had to remove them. I have an ETX-90 base/fork that was not chewed up so I'm taking an approach similar to yours with that one.

I have a feeling the price of EXT drive bases is about to go UP!

Mine just arrived today via an Astromart purchase. I'll be tinkering with making an adapter this weekend and then a wedge for a tripod. I gotta tell you this looks like a perfect match between the PST and ETX base. Hummm... a PSTEXT? A ETXPST???
