SCT to 2-inch barrel adapter?

I bought one from scopestuff (here http://www.scopestuff.com/ss_adt2.htm), but....

I want to use this on my AT66ED which is a problem. This adapter assumes you are screwing it into the back of an SCT so the butt end of the adapter hits the back of the SCT and stops. With the AT66ED, it just keeps going and there is no way to tighten the adapter. I need one with and internal stop.

Anyone know of such a beast? Yes, I know I can have one custom made....

TIA,

roland
