Have look in www.gcw.org.uk for a project to make a parallelogram mount -
it might give you some ideas.

Thanks but I'm really looking for something which will give me a downward
view. I haven't got the room to swing such a large mount either. Maybe I
should have gone for a £200 scope with a diagonal but I thought the
binoculars would come in handy as multipurpose/terrestrial etc but by the
weight of them they might be useless for that too. I did have some 10x42
opticrons (much lighter) but the coatings were crap from the factory -
peeling off and so forth, lots of specs of crap all over the
prisms/whatever. I cleaned a lot off but thought I would get a better pair
hence the Nikons. I dunno, I might take them back to the shop and swap for
something else.
