M56 (0.75) > 2" SCT thread Adapter .... Where art thou???

The mission:

Attach a 2" SCT (24TPI UNC) female threaded Baader ClickLock Eyepiece holder to the male threaded M56 (0.75) focuser on a Takahashi FS60CB

To do this I have come up with 3 options:
1. Buy a ready made M56 > 2" SCT adapter - unfortunately I cannot find anyone that makes it
2. Use an existing FS60CB Extension tube (which has an M56 thread) and cut it shorter and then machine a 2" SCT thread onto the outside of the cut end
3. Make a whole new adapter to suit

Any other ideas or perhaps a skilled machinist with a few spare minutes
( I can post an extension tube for the modification )
