Not pictured but I will also provide a right angled USB2 cable for the EAF as that is essential for clearance (as the focuser moves)

Hi Graham, it's the standard 55mm from the M42 to M48 adapter.
That though is a custom modification because standard it comes only with a M42 thread, with the provided extension tube (which I still have and will include),
the calc is as follows: 83mm from the reducer shoulder thread, where the provided extension is 28mm.
See attached diagram.
Also attached a test shot with the full frame camera to show the extreme corners
