Rubber eye guard for Meade SWA 24.5 eyepiece

[chrisp9au]

I'm looking for a replacement rubber eyepiece guard for my Meade SWA 24.5mm eyepiece.
By my measure, it needs to fold over a 42mm diameter eye lens casing.
Maybe somebody has one floating around in their box of 'spares'?
Or maybe you somebody can advise where I might be able to buy one?
Thanks

Thanks Keith,

Anything from the USA is just crazy $$$$$$

Edmund Optics, US$44, before postage!

Agena Astro, US$2.75 sounds good, then they want a US$10 minimum order value, and then US$23 postage!

The eyepiece is usable without the guard!

Thanks again

Found an old thread on Cloudy Nights that might present a cheap alternative made out of bicycle tyre rubber!
