School me, oh wise ones. The telescope adjustments are not very critical, are they? As long as it's roughly centered on the horizon mirror, Seems as though, perish the thought, a threaded bolt and two locknuts for height and a twist for horiz. and a little non-elastic bending of 'rising piece' bolt would do 'er and actually be pretty solid. The rising piece on my T&S has a bit of play which I can't see how to get rid of, the two #3? screws that adjust vertical (perp to plane of sextant) are quite 'dinky' and given the torque that could be accidentally applied to the longest of my telescopes could damage them.
