I used a reversed lens board (picture 3). Note that it worked much better shaving 0.5mm off of the top and bottom of the lens board, which better matches what the shutter is supposed to connect to. You can make it work using a lot of force without doing this, but I don't recommend it.

what I did was I had a beat sinar bellows that I ripped the frame out of..then JB Welded it to the lensboard of the camera I was fitting the shutter too
you have to be careful of fitment so that you can still operate the latches to lock the lensboard in..and such
so it goes camera lensboard with a big ol hole----> glued on bellows frame -----> back of sinar shutter ------------->sinar frame -----> lensboard with lens
I hope that glue doesn't fail!

last time I glued something to a lensboard with it - I had to chisel it off the wood to get it off
Thanks for the ideas!
I did what Peter mentioned above. Works pretty well. Not a super light weight solution, but the camera it attaches to is a home built tank of an 8x10.
