Piggy Back mounting an FSQ-106

G'day readers, did everyone have a good Christmas?

OK onto the serious stuff, has anyone reading this forum ever mounted a FSQ-106 using guide scope rings and if so what brand of guide scope rings are available that will slip onto the FSQ tube without having to dis-assemble the focuser and have enough adjustment on the three point screws. I am loaning my FSQ-106 to a mate so he can piggy back it on a RC 12.5" whilst I get familiar with my Mewlon.

Also, I am noticing that Takahashi is doing away with the FS series Fluorites (I guess Art and the boys at TNR will have to ammend their 'Advantage of Fluorite' article ) . Can anyone see the FSQ-106 following and being replaced by the TOQ-130?
