Changed the sw autofocuser from 200p to the 200pds ,bit of messing about needed due to a grub screw being hidden but this is overcome by a spacer on bracket ,all seems to work just need to trim screws to length ,oh and the ota  does needs flocking so strip down job required and a trip to wilkinsons to get the flocking .

200pds striped down , flocked , blackened edges of secondary , reassembled - re collimated got a headache re aligning sometimes you can stare down a drawtube to long , then you doubt yourself it’s looking right , will double check later , I think it’s looking spot on ?
