Well I don't know that I can add much other than I did take a pair of the Siebert 17mm WA EP's and with the StellarVue OCS screwed into them, they came to focus quite reasonably.
I guess the real question is whether it's worth trying to build an adapter, or just provide a custom sleeve and built-in Barlow for existing Siebert EP's - personally I think both approaches would work just fine.
Finally, there's the question of whether it's feasible to mimic the locking arrangement that Miyauchi uses on its EP's. With 45° EP's this is an issue when nearing the Zenith.
