Where to get Finderscope mount?

Hello all!

Thanks for all the help lately. Ok, so I go out and order a UO 8x50 amici prism right-angle finder and now I have to figure out how to put it on my Intes-Micro Alter M603 MakCas.

I would really like to use the dove-tail mount that is on my OTA if possible. Below is a picture of both the mount on the OTA and the stock finderscope rings. It looks like, in theory, I might be able to just replace the rings using the dovetail bar that is on the current finder?

Where do I get such things?

And perhaps easier, is there a 60mm+ ID mount that would fit into my existing dovetail?

Any help is greatly appreciated as I have no idea where to start looking.

Thanks!

James

PS: The losmandy 65mm finder mount at Anacortes would fit the finder but I don't think it would fit the OTA?
