Hello all. I have a project that I'll be working on and I'm in need of a set of dimensions that I'm hoping someone can help me with. I'll be building an adapter back around a B&J 11x14 spring back. The back is on its way but I'd like to get started on the project today. I need the dimensions of the rear standard of a B&J 11x14 camera where the spring back attaches to the rear standard. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I think I found an old post which mentions the dimensions of the back i.e. 16 X 16 inches. Can anyone confirm?

Just pm'd you! My B&J 11x14 back is 16 1/8" x 16 1/8". BUT there are metal strips along the top and bottom that take that dimension to 16 3/8". They stop about 1 1/4" short of the edge on top and 1 1/8" short of the edge on the bottom. And of course there are the little mounting pins that stick out.

I might have a B&J 11x14 rear standard that I bought brand new as a replacement part. I would have to check but PM me if you are interested and I'll go looking. Much better than building one, I think...
