LX200 14"/F.R./DSLR, imaging

Hi all,

I am trying to hook up to my 14" LX200 the following.

The Meade f6.3 focal reducer/flattener and image with 40D. I have found out that the distance between the last lens of the F.R. should be 105mm from the chip of the camera. What fitting do others use to get the required spacing?

I tried to get my 2" flip-mirror in the train, but the distance with it inbetween the F.R. and camera was 165mm, and couldn't get focus.

The F.R. screws onto the rear of the OTA, but I cannot find what adapters/spacers to use inbetween that and the camera. There doesn't seem to be anything on the major astro shop pages to cover this.

Thanks for your input.
