I've heard that they can be special ordered from Japan through Kendrick.

Paul,
Just keep the diagonal in place and eyepiece holder plugged or capped when the scope is not in use. You are adding more glass to the optical train and reducing the light through-put of your scope. Cover it up when it's not in use and keep anything that may "communicate" with the inside environment- like the barrel surfaces of your eps, filters and diagonal- clean, so you won't be dragging contaminants into your OTA. Keep the OTA horizontal or pointed slightly downward to insure that anything freely circulating inside won't settle on the mirror or corrector's surfaces.
Regards, Dave
