I have a Pre-Anniversary Spedd graphic that I would like to mount my 8.5" Ilex Acutar too. The Acutar is in a Copal #1 shutter but the problem is the thickness of the lens board. The Pre-Anniversary boards are way too thick for the Copal #1. I have a few thinner home made boards that were included with the camera one of which seems to be drilled for a Copal #1. The problem is it is also little too thick. I can get the retaining ring started but it doesn't go far enough to allow me to screw the rear element of the lens in all the way. Are there Copals with longer mounting sections? or do I need a board that is recessed in the rear? Or is there something else that I'm missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Kyle.
