Using Meade accessories on Dobbie?

Has anyone got/ made/ an adaptor to allow the screw cell attachments ( I think its a 50mm thread) to fit into a 2" focusser? I'm thinking about a 2" OD tube with one end externally threaded so that items like the off axis and flip mirror Meade SC accessories could be used on a Dobbie. I know it would add a few millimetres to the focusser, but give a lot of flexibility between telescopes and all the expensive gear we seem to collect.

I'd certainly be interested in finding one, or someone who could machine it up????
