Hi. Some time ago I bought a linhof (technika) recessed lens board but it arrived with a broken cable release adapter (why on earth it that thing plastic!). Well - I would like to use it, but none of my cable releases has the metal "nose" short enough to fit on the shutter inside the recession. Do you know of any work-around? I had a look at the "L" shaped adaptors, but they also seem to be rather large so most probably would not fit.

any help or ideas will be appreciated

Is it realy broken or did it come loose ?
If it was sent to you by Linhoff: send it back and ask for a new one packaged propperly.
There are 2 screws at the back of the board to fasten, and yes, you will need a "nose cone" on your cable release.
They should have send you a little piece of bent metal to go between the adapter and the shutter, otherwise the adapter will not work.
