I have a finder scope with a fixed dedicated EP but a removeable Diagonal. I would like to use a regular 1.25" Diagonal so I can change EPs when I wish. The problem is that I am just short on travel to get it to insert in far enough to allow me to focus an EP.
It looks like I could shorten the barrel of the Diagonal where you insert the EP by up to .25-.5" and it would work. This would leave me with plenty of travel to allow it to come to focus. The problem is that if I cut it, the barrel thickness would be quite thin and would have very few threads for the set screws. The barrel on the diagonal is sleeved at the end to double the thickness of the tube.
Any one have any ideas of how I could modify this and get it to all work?
