The Graphic "C" board on my Speeder started to wiggle after being mounted.
Wassup with that?
What do I do to get a tighter fit? I have a scrap of velvet I'm thinking of gluing to the inside surface edges to add some width---what do you think?

A Velcro stick-on piece? Not both parts, just one side.

Layers of photo black paper tape. Easy to adjust thickness. Lasts a long time.

Hmm....maybe a bit of gaffer's tape to add some thickness?

The scrap of velvet sounds perfect.

Velvet or felt.
You need to glue spray the back of the velvet before cutting to size as modern velvets fray very badly.
Velvet ribbon (ask female where you can get it!) is available everywhere.

I'd build up with black paper, duct, or gaffer's tape. It's easier to control the thickness. First, check to see if the screws holding the lens board retainers are properly tightened. Don't overtighten!

I've used the Hockey tape mentioned above, and it's held up do a couple of months without any issues.

I’ve had the same problem with my Zone VI. I mad a gasket out of black electrical tape. Put the sticky sides of the tape together making a square. Never put sticky side of electrical tape on the camera or lens board. Then cut to shape. You can make it as has thick has you need. If you change lens you just need to keep from dropping the gasket. I’ve had mind for 5 years with no problem.
