I have spent the last couple of weeks CAD'ing and adjusting a 3D-printable mount to attach a laser pointer to the FocusSpot port on a Kalart rangfinder as a focusing aid. The files, picture and some scale and finishing instructions are available at Thingiverse. The laser pointer is $1.50 at Dollarama in Cananda and $1.75 at Dollar Store in USA. From a quick look it seems these laser pointers are likely to work as well

If you have a laser pointer that does not fit, then you can keep the end of the adapter with the three tabs and redesign just the other end.
