Now the next step took some fussing.  The pommel pieces were all about the same size, and larger than the 8" chrome pipe extension as far as the Outside Diameter was concerned.

Digging around I found a microphone piece from Shure that fit inside the pipe and took up most of the room of the inside of the lens pieces.

I created a drawing to show how it all fit together as it's a little confusing.  I also used a film canister to fit inside the pipe, the screw screws into the bottom of it, there's some JB Weld to hold it there, then everything is glued together.
