I knew I should have bought DC925 rails when I was working on Trixie last summer…
I went out and stimulated the Astromart economy and now I have a C9.25 but no way to attach a top rail to it.
I’ve already eyeballed the length of the rail, and I have 2 (well, 3 now) of the right length rail, but only one set of radius blocks.
Also, I wonder if there exists a radius block to attach a Vixen-style rail to a C-8?
I think that the C-8 might have been fork mounted at one point in its life, and I’ve been running it with D rails, but I might post it on the ‘mart with a Vixen rail instead and sell the D rails separately.
But the Vixen rail is way too narrow to hook up to the bolt pattern for the D rail’s radius blocks. So it seems like I’d need a radius block?
Hmm.
