2" extension piece with a twist.

Hi all.


I needed an extension tube to allow me to use the Atik 314 L on my newly aquired GT 81 instead of using the two 1.25" extension tubes I have been using.


I also needed it to be able to accept my T2 adapter for my Canon as it has the light pollution and IR filter fitted to it.


This is what I came up with.


I machined this from a solid 75mm dia Aluminium bar.


When completed I Anodised it in black.


 


Next bit I will make is a T2 male to male adapter so I can loose the nose piece off the Atik and screw it directly onto the adapter.

Looks mint that does. Finish it off with some nice little ali thumb screws. Good modding!

Thanks folks.


Tobias I have some button head Allen bolts to replace the countersunk ones so that will tidy it up. ;):)
