adding erecting prism to Finderscope?

Hello all!

Today I received a GSO 8x50 straight through finderscope (this is all I could afford).

I'm sure this scope will suffice however I got to thinking about using some prisms to create a correct view finderscope.

I am considering using prisms available from surplus shed or possibly even part of a binocular.

Has anyone ever done this or could point me in the right direction before I waste money on prisms?

Here is an example of the bino part: http://www.surplusshed.com/pages/item/b1103.html

Not sure which type of prism to use??

Any guidance would be great!

Cheers,

David.
