Low profile 2" to 1.25" adapter required

I just bought a William Optics 2" 45-degree erecting diagonal. Unfortunately, with my ZS80 there isn't enough in focus for most of my eyepieces. I think the tubes of the newer scopes are shorter (relative to focal length) than the old models, and since this diagonal is a new item, it doesn't quite work straight out of the box with my scope.

What I need is a 2" to 1.25" adapter that doesn't raise the eyepiece above the height of the diagonal's 2" barrel. In fact, I've seen some websites in the US where the adapter actually lowers the height of the eyepiece a few mm, which is probably what I need.

Anyone know where I might find such a thing in Australia?

Thanks

Morton
