I've got a new unmounted bellows for a Deardorff V8 and it appears to be just a bit too small to fit over the rear frame lip.
I noticed that three of the four corners appear to have been lightly sanded, with bare wood showing where the rest of the frame has the original flat black paint.
Can anyone confirm that this means that it's pretty much expected that the frame will need some minor adjustment to fit the bellows? It would seem that this would be necessary since the bellows are almost certainly going to have some variation in sizing, and I'm hoping someone has first-hand experience with this.
