I need a dome port for my Ikelite Nikon P6000 housing. I want to add a wide conversion lens, with dome port. I have tried the Nikon WC-E76 and the Raynox 5050 wide conversion lenses on this camera (Nikon excellent, Raynox hmmm quality), but I need to put them in a dome port.

Another poster already did something like that with parts that are no longer available, but his results were fabulous and I really want to try this. See:
http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/nikon-niche/279836-p6000-project-done.html

What are the measurements of the 9304 dome port? Specifically, will its screw threads fit the front port on my Ikelite Housing for Nikon P6000 (if I remove the short flat port already there)? I assume I use something like the Nikon UR-E21 adapter to connect camera to lens, but maybe that's not needed if the port supports the conversion lens.

This is the only reasonably priced port I can see that is even remotely close to working for this application. I'm willing to do some custom machining, but I need a good starting point. So, what are the dimensions, threads, and so on of the 9304??
