A view of the completed dovetail plate showing the dovetail bar installed. One of the things I like about the way I installed the dovetail bar, is that once you loosen the bolt on the EQ head to remove the telescope from the mount, the crown nuts will act as a stop to prevent the telescope from sliding off accidentally.
