Yes Dave - I have a small lathe at home for those difficult to find astro spacers and adaptors.

Does look like you have it figured out, but do let me know if you need any measurement or pics.
its midway through here http://tan14.com/Others.htm |
I'm making this one specifically for the MPCC. I have the televue IS spacer system for the Paracorr however this won't work with the MPCC. I am also looking to make something that will fit completely inside the draw tube of the focuser so the draw tube compression ring acts on the spacer rather than the recess on the MPCC. I think Peter Tan's spacers are made for the original QHY8 rather than the pro and the t thread to CCD distance is slightly different between the two models.
