Where to get low profile EP adapter

[GazK]

I just picked up a 50mm Lunt Ha scope and its lovely. Only problem is, its focus range is small and my Baader zoom sits too far back in the optic train to come to focus. Various US forums say this can be fixed by replacing the EP grip (which is 30mm high and screws onto the blocking filter diagonal) with a smaller one. I've tried all the usual UK places and I can't find one for sale. Does anyone know who sells these? Example is here: M42 to 1.25" / 1.25 inch Adaptor

Wouldn't you risk hitting the mirror or blocking filter with the eyepiece barrel if you shorten it too much?

No, I've done the maths and it will still clear.

Thanks - yes thats the one. But with postage I'm looking at £50, hoping there's somewhere in the UK thats not quite so extortionate!

Good luck with your seach in the UK. Otherwise it'll cost about €50 posted from TS, that's just shy of £40.
