I have a Speed Graphic with a bad bellows. It is an Anniverary model and has a bellows made of some leatherlook material, not the more obvious plastic that is used in my Crown Graphic, and which seems to be very durable. The Anniversary has been modified to allow forward an backward tilt on the front, and the bellows is so wide in the front that it interferes with the U-frame of the front standard. This has caused holes in the bellows on each side. There are also pinholes in nearly every corner along the bellows. It may not be original.
I know that making my own bellows is possible. Maybe I'll give it at try. Making the bellows is described in several websites.
What surprises me is how difficult it is to find a description on this forum and elsewhere in the Internet of how to change the bellows of a Speed Graphic. Can you point me in the direction of a useful description or share useful advice?
