Linhof Tech III Viewing Hood Leather Replacement???

[Kimberly Anderson]

So the Linhof is actually shaping up after a LOT of work on it. One of the things I'd like to do is replace the leather that was on it. The bits that were still there looked to be a different design than the Tech IV or V. I actually really like the design on the later cameras, it reminds me of the viewing hood oh the Crown and Speed Graphics.

I am wondering if I can use the Tech IV or V replacement cloth that is sold on that one big auction site on my Tech III, or even if worse comes to worse can I use some of the bits from the Tech IV on the III and get to where I want to go? I have really very little experience with the variations and differences between the newer and older Tech cameras. If someone can point me in a good direction I'd certainly appreciate it.

Thanks.
