WANTED: 185mm - 200mm Tube rings

Anyone got a pair of 185mm to 200mm tube mounting rings for sale??? Bintel are out of stock and I'm looking to mount the Meade Comet seeker on the new HEQ5 mounting. The measured diameter of the telescope tube is 185mm, so allowing for slight packing, minimum inside diameter would be around 190mm for ideal mounting.

OK ended up cutting a couple of bits of 8" tube, problem solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
