TAK Top Plate ID

Can someone identify this top plate on the TOA130 rings. I need one, but can't find it anywhere.

I might add that I have one that is similar, but it only has the five holes down the middle. I need this one with the two offset holes on either side of the center ones.

Hi Scott,
It's called a "Bridge". It looks like you'll have to specifically ask for it, as it does seem to be a part advertised separately. Give TNR a call.

It is the bridge that, I think, comes as part of a package with the Tak Tube ring set. As people have said you may be able to get one from TNR separately.

Why not, instead, take a standard Losmandy dovetail and have it tapped to mount in the four holes on top of your tube rings? If you do that you can mount a guide scope/telrad etc on the top dovetail.

Mounting something on the bridge is possible but not as handy.
