I had been looking at a couple on Bintel - but they seem to have disappeared.

With the 130mm, you could move the mirror up a bit with longer bolts and springs rather than fit a large focuser, else you'd have to make an adaptor plate or fill the gap but key is to make sure the focuser is perpendicular.
There's only about 1cm before the casing around the end of the tube - and it sounds like moving the secondary would be quite a bit of work. It couldn't be that hard to make an adapter plate could it?
