1.25" filter without filter wheel

[SupernovaF1]

Hello all,

I have recently adquired a ZWO ASI 1600 but wont be receiving the filter wheel until later.

I do have 1.25" filters that I could use on the meantime but I was wondering how to connect them.
I would like to avoid buying a cheapish manual filter wheel though SvBony does one for £40.

I havent seen filter drawers for 1.25" but I cant find any cheap solution, so any help will be appreciated.
Cheers

Perhaps this two solutions would work

https://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/product_info.php/language/en/info/p9003_ZWO-Filterhalter-fuer-1-25--Filter---kurzbauend-mit-T2-Gewinde.html

 

The first one is an spacer, seems identical to the T2-1.25" adapter that comes with the ZWO 1600. Is that enough?

The diagram below says it needs a M42 to 1.25" which is optional.

Thanks but ive already solved with some gaffer tape.

Jokes apart, the zwo comes with the necesary filter.
