Scope spares? Need masking ring for Minox MD 62W ED (1 Viewer)

[hermitical]

Can anyone suggest good places for scope spare parts? I'm in the UK but it is a small part so international would be fine. Minox can't help with this one unfortunately.

I have a used Minox MD 62W ED but it is missing the masking ring that sits in between the lens and the body, and though I can use the scope it is too easy for the lens to become totally unscrewed.

I've popped a thread in the Wanted forum as well.

Just bumping this one as the part is still required.

Is that the right parts photo for your scope? I say that because it shows the ring as a chamfered collar and it looks like the lens and body diameters are similar on your scope so wouldn't be able to have that type, or is it camera angle?. Be easy enough to make one in say ABS or alloy if you know someone with a lathe or got a local model engineering club.

Is it just a glorified spacer? If so then a hit if CAD and a 3ad printer will sort the problem?

Thank you both.

@Bezzer I can see what you mean about the diameter of the lens and the body being different from the manual. I think I may have found an answer, this may not be the lens that was sold with the scope:


And a review on Amazon talks of the need to unscrew a "cover" ring:


@wllmspd Not so much a spacer but more like a ring that stops the lens from being unscrewed when focusing.

With it not being the standard lens do you both think that a home made replacement could still be the answer? I don't know anyone with a lathe or 3D printer but I could put out some enquiries.
