I got a friend to make an alloy plate to fit manfrotto 500ah took it to a local firm for powder coating.
Any one doing this needs a second person to hold the head together for fitting it works very well but I still have a small belt wrapped around the scope foot in case of accidental quick release.
I got this idea from Kirk who are charging silly prices for converting these heads to swiss arca and some people are actually buying them all screws are treated to loctite blue and my scope has 2 bolts holding the 200mm plate (the one pictured is only 120mm.
