After trying various solutions, I finally settled down on an 11x14 conversion back attached to an Arca Swiss. The 11x14 back was from a Frica 11x14. I brought a whole camera and took the back, added an ARCA plate at the bottom. I then sliced the bellows open and inserted a leather section, which allows movement when using a wide lens. To attach it to an ARCA SWISS, I brought a T shaped RRS clamp, and an industrial angle plate to adjust the tilt movement. The result is a very rigid camera, the back is more stable than the ARCA 8x10. By inserting a micro focuser I could add focusing to the back standard.
