Hello,

I recently acquired a Toyo Omega 45C from a co-worker. The bellows which is on the camera has a large number of pinhole leaks in the corners. I am planning on using black acrylic paint to patch the leaks. In the event this is not successful, I ordered a replacement bellows which lacks the hardware to attach the bellows to the camera. The seller told me it is possible to remove the hardware and attach it to the new bellows.

Has anyone here been successful in doing this? I looked at the hardware and it is held on by small Phillips screws. When I got the new bellows, I did not see screw holes. My gut tells me the hardware is initially attached by glue and the screws are self tapping and are used for a better hold.

If anyone here can offer guidance on attaching the hardware to the new bellows, I will appreciate it.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Navy Moose
