A short 'K' extention tube (12 or 9 mm?), into a 'K" to M42 adapter (both of these are stock parts), screwed into a M42 to M39 adapter. (Custom, so it is the correct thickness to make the stack 16.6mm long?) Should be a much cheaper way to go.
Any machine shop should be able to make the custom adapter as it is nothing but a 42x1mm inside thread to 39x1mm outside thead coupling. They would have to have all the parts so they could get the overall flange to flange distance exact.

Hi all
Thanks for the input on this.
Two points: Focussing not a problem as long the register is correct as it will be only
wide angles [sp.17mm fisheye and poss. 28mm] so zone focussing etc. is no
problem.
I actually have a spare t6 converter [the aperture linkage jammed and it
seemed cheaper to buy another rather than repair it] which sounds as though
it would certainly provide the kmount parts, as the Leica is asnadrd 39mm
thread should be fairly easy to replicate....................
So now all i need is who/ where to do the job [guys like this are not
exactly thick on the ground here...............!]
