Title says it all.
I have seem a lot of photos of Polaroid 600SE fitted with Polaroid 545i film back, and was thinking, that I would like to try that, looks neet.

So, I have a Polaroid 600SE (go figure), I know about film size and all, most of the drabacks, but would still like to try to fit a Polaroid 545i back to my camera. So, from what I have discovered, I should find either an adapter or modify 545i back. Don`t know much about it all, so if some questions look stupid to you, they look fine by me.
Option one:
1. original Polaroid 545i back har graflex back, right ?
2. If that is the case then I guess I would need a Mamiya G adapter (with split claws for Polaroid 600se), right ?
or.
3. I brake apart one existing normal peel apart film back and only use a part with claws and fitting, and then somehow glue it to the 545i back, right ?
So my question is, if option 1 and 2 are a way to go, except a lot of money invested to get that stupidly expensive adapter, is that the way to go, simple clean and easy.
or
if number 3 is an option, where the hell can I find some "tutorial" or clues on how to do this, did any one of you tried that.
BTW: Did try to Google it, searched forums, there is a lot of info around, but just cant figure it out. So would appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.
