The thread on the Tak Collimating scope is M36.4P1 male. There are very few off-the-shelf adapters that will mate with it. Vixen used to make some but they don't any more. The best option I found when I was looking a couple of years back is the Borg #7423 adapter mentioned above. Apart from that, Tak have an adapter with a a M36.4P1 female thread that is part of their usual 1.25" eyepiece set up for refractors.

If none of those options work then you're probably looking at a custom adapter. I'm sure that Precise Parts would make you one, but it would be expensive.
