The first image shows the extra the focuser being too big for the MPCC and the second shows the 2" adaptor vs MPCC top view for size.

So my problem is that the 2" adapter is great but I lose my focus point as the adapter increases the distance to the secondary. And without the 2" adapter my MPCC is too small to put in the focuser..If I could somehow cut the 2" to only have 1cm profile then it could get interesting..

"The MPCC has a 2" barrel and thus forms its own nosepiece which is great BUT to get a 2" pushfit on your focus tube you have to put the supplied 2" adapter into the non-standard throat (57mm dia. approx) of the focus tube and this extends out by 36mm whereas the 'T' thread adapter that is exposed when you unscrew the 1.25" EP holder is flush with the end of the focus tube. 36.0 - 10.0 means that you have extended the system by 26.0mm and therein lies the problem" Source

i.e. HELP!
