Quick fix for Radian eyepieces

I for one, hate having to adjust the push-pull click stop adjustment on my Radians everytime I use them. There have been several suggestions on how to fix them including rubber bands and tape to name two. I went out and bought a pack of slip joint washers in the plumbing section at Home Depot. They come in a pack of six in 1 1/4, 1 1/2 and 2" diameter sizes. Just slip the 1 1/2" over the barrel up against the click stop at the point that's good for viewing through the eyepiece and no more adjustment. Works beautifully and it's black so you don't notice them on the barrel.

Great idea - I was going to drill and tap the collars for computer case thumbscrews!
