EagleEye adaptor for Opticron SDL eyepiece (1 Viewer)

Does anyone use an EagleEye adaptor with the Opticron SDL zoom eyepiece? I have an adaptor that I used to use with my main Kowa scope, all it needs I think is an alternative insert 'collar' for it to fit my back-up Opticron. Unfortunately this eyepiece isn't listed on EagleEye's website. I'd appreciate any help.

I use an Opticron ES80 GA ED with the same eyepiece SDL Zoom. I also use the EagleEye adapter as I find the Opticron one that I brought was too large , clumsy and didn't seem to fit correctly.
I had difficulty finding an insert collar to fit , as you say there is nothing listed for that eyepiece.However a friend let me try he's which is made for the Swarovski eyepiece and it fits . The Type code is L1 and its £19.95 on their website.

Thanks Markho - just the information I needed.
