This is a combination shoe that will hold either style mounting plate or rail. The wide jaw will hold the standard Losmandy style D rail and the narrower jaw holds the Vixen style rail. This newer version of the shoe has a set of heavy duty springs and guiding pins.for greater stability. We assemble these pricision machined parts in our shop in Auburn, California. It has a slotted bottom for mounting to parts that have varying hole spacing. Designed for mounting with 1/4-20 screws, this newer version also accomodates M6 screws for imported products. This is the same spring loaded, dovetail shoe used on the most recent Stellarvue M2C mount head.
The TDLV is 6" long and it has a 1/4-20 threaded hole in the center bottom. Two 1/4" slots allow the shoe to be mounted with two 1/4-20 or 6mm socket cap head screws that are between 1 1/4" and 5" apart.
