I also needed to do this. I got an old eyepiece that came with my scope with a 1 1/4" barrel that was threaded on the inside. I carefully cut a ring off the barrel. It is made of brass or aluminium and I just used my wood lathe with a hand held tool to cut it. You could use a hack saw as carefully fileit afterwards.
The eyepiece barrel is now a bit shorter but still works.

I'll get back to both of you. I have a few old 1.25 rgb filters out at the observatory you can have.
unfortunately I wont be out there for at least 2 weeks (have to go to a funeral this weekend at Nambucca).
If you havent heard from me plz pm me - i have a memory like a sieve.
