There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
I can't access to all of the links to read the details of diy bellows kit. Can you send me the details for that kit, I want to restored my Gunlarch 5x7 camera's bellows.
I got this from Sorin just a few days ago when I wrote to him directly.

I've been traveling since August and everything is on hold. Someone hacked my web site and I didn't have time to fix it. I may restart things in the summer.

Hope things are going well with a kit, I have always wanted to build a LF 4x5
If you complete a set of kits I want pricing and availability as soon as you can get it!
I am not a fan of the bull dog, I want real wood camera kit!
Sorin's site has been inactive for several years, I think from mid 2010 on. It's a real shame, his bellows kits were amazing. I beta-tested his kit making system and it was great and made really wonderful bellows, I think better than anything else that's available at any price. A very smart guy. But I think at this point, until you hear otherwise, there isn't going to be a camera kit.
I'm afraid the project is on hold indefinitely at this point. In Aug 2010 I left the country for almost a year and when I came back I moved to NYC where I don't have access to a shop. For now I still have everything in storage, so I didn't lose hope completely, but I have no immediate plans to re-start work on the kit project. Should that happen, you guys would be the first to know.

Sorin any chance of the Bellows kits coming back? I'm assuming no. But they were seriously awesome.
