Diagonal Eyepiece and Bolt recommendations for Meade

Hello there. I have a Meade LX200 ACF computerized and I am trying to get recommendations as to what diagonal eyepiece I can put on it to observe and also I have a Meade Equatorial wedge that I want to mount my telescope to and I was wondering what bolts I need to mount the telescope onto the wedge. It looks like there are three bolts I need. I heard I could just go to a hardware store and get bolts with plastic handles to turn by hand? Thank you for your time.

Yeah any hardware store should have bolts that will work . As far as a diagonal , I have a William Optics dialectic mirror . It’s as good as more expensive units but they tend to be the best bang for the buck and half the price of some other brands . I’m happy with it . I pull great detail out of Jupiter with it and it stomps all over the prism that I had before it .
