I posted this hidden in a thread but it works so well I wanted to give it it's own thread.
Was having trouble with mounting a Copal #3 on a Linhof Tech lens board.
The shutter was too close to the lens board so I could not mount it to the camera. Also I could not get it tight enough to prevent slippage of the shutter in the lens board.
Went to the hardware store and found a "Tub Drain Gasket", this is a cheap, flat, hard black rubber gasket, dimensions are:
OD 3" ID 1 7/8" Thickness 1/8"
I had to enlarge the inside diameter about 1/4", I used the locking ring as a templet and cut with a utility knife. It worked flawlessly, and looks like it is part of the lens. No slippage either.
Just had to pass this along. Hope it helps someone.
