Default takahashi fs102 on GP-DX

Hi, I'm planning to purchase a takahashi fs102s OTA with a GP-DX mount.
Could anyone tell me what kind of mounting plate do I need for the
takahashi tube holder. Visual only. Thanks

Just buy a pair of 114 or 115 milimeter internal diameter holder rings.
Attach those rings in the plate of the GP-DX mount and that's all.

I used a standard Vixen saddle plate which had holes matching those in the
Tak ring.

By the way, if you're looking for the part, it's AM-AD-2661, $22 at
Anacortes:

Looks like they come in SX white as well as the classic Vixen green.
