I would like to add a tripod collar like this one:

to a Tamron SP 70-210 3.5 FD BREECH MOUNT lens:
http://www.adaptall-2.com/lenses/19AH.html
The only place available on the Tamron would be ON THE FD BREECH LOCK MOUNT, but this is too narrow. The tripod collar might fit over BOTH the breech lock and FD to 4/3 adapter rings.
Judging from the photo on his ebay website, the jinfinance adapter appears to have the same outside diameter as the FD BREECH MOUNT (approx. 64 mm):

Can anyone who owns the jinfinance confirm this?
My hope is that the tripod collar would fit over BOTH the breech mount ring and the jinfance adapter, permitting the lens and adapter to be mounted as one unit on the G1.
In other words, the COMBINED distance from the front edge of the knurled breech lock ring and the jinfinance adapter to the G1's front would have to be large enough to mount the tripod collar.
Alternatively, would the Rayqual (Cameraquest) or another FD adapter be more suitable?
Unfortunately, none of the adapter websites provide physical dimensions of the adapters. Thanks for your help! And sorry for all the links and capitalizations...
