Prephaps I can chime in here. I was one of the original cheerleaders for the Borg 7315 Helical focuser. You will have to find a machinist to modify the nosepiece. Regarding the slip-fit adapter tube, one can tap another hole, for a 2-point anchor. Lastly, add a piece of brass sheet to act as a shim to hold the nosepiece. The advantage of using a helical focuser is that one can re-focus without changeing the FL. This is especially useful during photography, where images are to be stacked; prohibiting the FL changes.
