Sorry I can't help you with fitting your finder but it's a pretty nice job you've done with it

Nice finder!  What type of scope are you using this on?

Syed, cool finder.  Have a look at this blog.  If you scroll down to the bottom (about 2/3 way down) you will find an article on DIY finders and finder mounts.  It may give you some ideas for the mount.

The mount is made from a plastic tube or bottle cut along its vertical axis and then the two curved sections joined to face each each other.  The diagram is easier to understand.   Hope it helps.

Syed,  glad it helps - I may use the idea myself while I save up for a finder scope.

 "ek tiir se do nishane!" In hindi meaning one arrow two shots"  - in English we might say " two birds with one stone".

Post some pictures Syed when you are finished, it would be good to see what you have made.
