Ask a lathe owning friend to make up the required spacing cylinders and glue them in place.
Not having a friend with a lathe and being relatively poor (), I found a cheap way that was good enough for me. My 9mm focussed quite differently to my 15mm (which was focusing close enough to the 2" 26mm - that's all my eyepieces ). For fifty cents I bought a rubber O-ring from Clark Rubber which just slipped over the 9mm body. One o-ring was sufficient to get the 9mm focusing quite close to the 15mm.
