are copal 0 shutters generic?

Yup, yep, yippee!

Ive done several shootings now and it works well. As long as you have the right aperture scale mounted (that is specific for the lens) you can use any copal 0 shutter with your lenses.

As I said in post #2 above, this is not the case. The Copal #0 Press shutter has a shorter rear tube and a longer front tube than the cock-and-shoot Copal #0. Total tube lengths are the same, but wide angle lenses whose rear cells go deep into the shutter's rear tube -- the 60/5.6 Konica Hexanon for Koni-Omegas, for example -- will interfere with the diaphragm and shutter blades. Been there, encountered the problem.
