Cambo 45SF lensboard question

[jzakko]

This is basic as hell, but I don't want to buy the wrong thing.

Just bought a cambo 45sf. Need a lensboard for it that is compatible with my former lens/shutter.

I know this is really simple, get a cambo lensboard meant for copal no 1 since my shutter says it's a no 1, but I just want to make sure the shutter's 'for Wista' detail doesn't complicate things.

Here's a picture of my lens and shutter, will it work with this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/CAMBO-SF-631-LENSBOARD-FOR-1-SHUTTER-FOR-CAMBO-ULTIMA-23-35-AND-23SF-CAMERA-/132230448287?hash=item1ec98c849f:g:PsEAAOSwTf9ZRV57) lensboard?

2x3 Cambo lensboards are 123 mm x 123 mm, 4x5 Cambo lensboards are 163 mm x 163 mm.

123 != 163

As far as mounting goes, all Copal #1 shutters are alike.

Understand that the correct mounting hole seems a couple of mm too large.
Specifically, for copal #1, the hole should be 34.8mmm, but the thread is 32.5mm.

The reason is the retaining ring has a ridge on the inside (toward the shutter) of 34.6mm.
This ring is what fits in the hole on the lensboard.
It protects the shutter threads from being damaged.
