Subject: [Leica] 60mm filters for 100m R Apo-Elmarit?

Just traded in my 90mm R Summicron and bought the 100mm R 
Apo-Elmarit.

Beautiful lens, nice focus & handling but...

How/where do you get filters for the weirdo 60mm thread?!
(No one in Sydney seems to have any!)

I need at least a 80A and UV (the latter mainly for protection
in industrial environments when the muck starts flying!).

Am thinking of getting a 60mm -> 58 or 55 stepper ring as it
would be the cheapest option (& I could reuse my 55mm filters
left over from the Summicron).  Does such a beast exist?
Where could I find something like this?  (A quick browse
through the B+H & Adorama catalogues didn't turn up any
prospects.)

Regds,
