Based on the discussion we had last week -

Moose, will these pieces work?

Nope. They are both adapters from T-Mount female thread to camera male bayonet or thread, one a wildly overpriced adapter to Nikon f Mount

This is fine for the back part.

No, you want Meade part no. 07352, Meade Instruments T-Adapter. <https://meade.factoryoutletstore.com/details/488599/meade-instruments-07352.html?category_id=79039&catalogitemid=446153> Their nomenclature is confusing. This part has a female thread end that connects to the fixed thread on the 'scope. At the other end is a standard T-Mount male thread - that fits the part above.

The Meade 07352 is available from Adorama for $10 less. <https://www.adorama.com/mdtasct.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiArYDQBRDoARIsAMR8s_S4SZZpcLl2gGtlko6EsCyJzWbI8TkuGnqK_81Al1AJcI4hX-ceKV4aAiuHEALw_wcB>

Together, they adapt the Scope thread to a µ4/3 mount, and are the correct 
length. Nice, simple, solid.
