Hi fizzy123,
I just got my 0.965"-1.25" adapter from Astro Sci last week. Pricey, but at least they seem to be the only local vendor to have ready made ones and I was needing it urgently. Or you can go to http://www.singastro.org/viewtopic.php?t=875
and view post #5 - some suggestions by fellow member Dr.Chan on the same matter.
For your the barlow, I suggest that you get the one which Meade has for the ETX60. Other short barlows may work with only certain eyepieces on your ETX60, but when you switch to others of a different focal length, you may find that you cannot achieve focus with them. This has been tried and tested before.
