2" extension tubes in Aus?

[Chris85]

Hi all,
Anywhere in Aus selling 2" extension tubes? A quick search doesn't seem to bring any, although there's plenty of T2 extensions. Teleskop-express.de have what I need but they also charge a killing on shipping!
Any help?
Cheers,
Chris

If you want 2" diameter M48 threaded, Telescopes & Astronomy should have Baader - nose piece extension and the Hyperion tuning rings.

From the US you can get Blue Fireball extensions from Agena.

Cheers Patrick.
I had a look at telescopes & astronomy but my God is that a hard place to navigate! I'll have another go..

I think Chris is looking for this type

Cheers Alexander, but Patrick's right I'm after the screw in type to help fine tune the spacing for my focal reducer. I already have a full set of the ones you linked.
And thanks Laurie I'll check them out if I can't find anyone local.

If you are willing to partly screw an m42 thread into a T - thread , a cheap alternative is to look on eBay for "M42 extension tubes". You can buy them for as low as $6.50 a set post free . I bought a set last year and they work well . I just looked on EBay and they are still $6.50.

Often you cannot get more specialised items in Australia

I would buy from agrenaastro.com -They are fantastic- low shipping costs+ goods sent out usually on the day the order is received+ good prices
See these -USD
Blue Fireball 2" Spacer Ring with 1.5" Extension # S-2E $22.95
Blue Fireball 2" Spacer Ring with 1" Extension # S-2D $20.95

thanks

Just had alook at my set , they're 8mm, 15mm & 28mm , very useful and screw into T - Thread enough to hold well. How could you lose at $6.50 including postage ?

Cheers for the replies and your offer Barry, but a local club member had a few spares which totalled exactly the distance I needed. Problem solved!
