Revived project - Finderscope for my C11

Some time ago I was playing with idea to use old 60mm binocular objective for finder scope ( I don't remember where it came from, it was a long time ago)... Realization of this project was tricky because I didn't want to abuse (too much) my friend with machining...
So - today, I had some free time and decided to finish this.
I prepared:
- the lens in its tube
- 48mm OD Holman drain pipe from Bunnings and associated caps
- 3D printed rings (I did them 3 years ago, just in case...)

After 1 hour of planning and machining the finder scope is pretty much functional.

I still need to make the bracket which will fit onto C11, that will require a search through my junk in the shed...
