[TRADED/FOUND] short T thread adaptor for Meade 1.25" flip mirror

[Merlin66 (Ken)]

I have a beat up Meade 1.25" flip mirror which didn't come with all the adaptors...
To fit a spectroscope application I need the short T thread adaptor - about 15mm(?) long - from the rear of the flip mirror body to a male T thread.
Can any one help or know where I could get one???

KEN. Do you think this Yank could have something?

Hmmm
A comprehensive list of "bits" but nothing there for me.....

Ken, will these work?

If so let me know as I have a set and I am pretty sure there is a 15mm somewhere.

Bo,
Good ideal - lateral thinking!!
Unfortunately the female side of the standard T thread spacer is too large to give a robust connection to the Meade flip body.
Thanks for the thought anyway.....

No worries Ken.
I also have a box of bits and bobs, some parts came from an old Meade R&P focuser for my 10" SN tube. I will fish around to see if I can find anything and email you some pics.

Now found!
Thanks to Les for machining up a replacement.
I'm now back in action with the grating spectroscope.
