hello. I've read a lot about different leads and options for replacing bellows on view cameras. Although there's a wealth of options and resources listed, I was wondering if anyone had any experience replacing their own bellows with the replacements advertised on e-bay. They apparently are made to coordinate with specific models but don't come with the mounting plates. The following links will take you to products for sale...

I was able to remove the old bellows from my camera and return the frames to perfect condition. I'm wondering if I can insert the frames into the new bellows as they originally were?
Any experience that you can share would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks.
