That's OK. When IR broke off did it leave any hole into the cavity of the
scope? If it did, use some black anodized aluminum (or black plastic) plate
1/16 or smaller and mold it and fit to where it broke off only if there are
holes.
Once the plate been fitted tightly. Now you drill some holes. The number of
drill holes is up to you. Go down to your local fastener business, the carry all
kinds of screws, machine screw, bolts, nuts, everything that you might need. Get
the machine screws that are the self threading. They will look like a little
machine screw with SAE threads but it will be tapered on end with a small notch
cut in the end. This way you will not have to use a tap to thread the
holes.-----One more thing here, pre-tap the drill with self tapping machine
screws. This way you can clean out the scope cavity Then apply a thing layer of
black rubber cement to the cover plate and then screw the machine screws. The
length of the machine screw are critical. You don't want the to long where the
reach far into the scope cavity. It could disrupted the flow of light to the NV
scope.
Now, for a IR lumination. Get head light with one high luminating bulb. Get
an IR lens and have it fitted to the head light, now you have IR lumination.
Simple, hey. stewbison
