You could do the same thing with a bit of plastic. then there is no wood dust to get on the lens.

Wood dust? There should be non with wood if you paint it matt black before use.
Dave, good to see you are having a go! If you glue a thin disc of ply in front of the first, with ac entral hole of slightly smaller diameter than the lens barrell, it will act as a stop when you push it on. If its outer diameter is such that it just fits inside the stepping ring it will create a rebate to glue the stepping ring more securely into.

Ah yes I see what you mean, good advice. I'll have to see what scrap ply/mdf/plastic I can find in the cellar or scrounge from work.

You can find 370 filters but maybe not the ones you want.
How about this:

You only need to find one and all your problems are solved.

I think I may go down that route if I fail to fashion something out of this bit of plastic I liberated from work. One way or another I'll get there. But for the time being its back to the blu-tack.

Just to update on this, in the end I got a 370 push to series VI adaptor for a couple of quid from some guy in the US via ebay, and glued it onto a stepping ring. Seems to handle even my heaviest combination of filters ok.

If the front cell outer diameter of your Mount 370 is the same as a USA version then what you need is a 38mm slip-on to Series VI adapter. (37mm is slightly undersized) Then you'll need to get an adapter from Series six to whatever metric size you want.

ETA: Oops... Old thread and already answer. I neglected to click on the second page.
