    Re: Can bellows be stretched?

    Re: Can bellows be stretched?

    I'm not sure and I am hesitant to make this modification. If I was going to do anything along these lines, I'd make a new frame that fit the new bellows and then make an adapter.

    Re: Can bellows be stretched?

    I was going to use the wire stretcher from work, but I don't have a metric Crescent wrench to adjust it with.

    They just contacted me about rectifying it, so let's hope it all works out.
