Will post the finished drawings here then.

That sound good! But how will the backplate be attached to the scope(s)?

Martin72:
It´s relative simple, by exchanging some of the existing backplate screws against longer ones.
First step is to determine the size of the "backplate adaptor", then determine the hole positions for the screws.
Then they´re two possibilities, making a simple backplate with some rubbertape between the plate and the backside of the scope or...
..make it "3d", I´ll show later what that means.

Mhh.. It can be done, once the length of the screws is established. BUT, be aware of the following possible complications:

1. Establishing the exact length for the replacement is not easy (but doable).
2. We can't know for sure the threading parameters of the screws (see last attached pic if you are unfamiliar with the English terms).
3. It's much easier to do with the HD than with the X+ (first and second pics) due to hole positioning.

It is...Lenght of the original screw plus needed length "X".

True but the scope are not heavy ones, fixing on minimum 2 screwholes should be possible.

Yes. Or buy another vesa kit like the one you have and use 2 additional bars to make "T" bars...

The threading still worries me. It's easy to buy a screw with slightly different threading and strip the scope's female rivets. Mh, if you have means to measure the threading, please inform me. Thanks!
