If this is a flat board making a smaller hole would not be difficult, you can diy by mounting a sheet of material wit a hole bored in it for the size you need and mounting it to the front of your board and applying a light tight seal around the edges with caulk.Originally Posted by ajp
This is the board that the 5108 and the 504 uses. I suspect it may be the same for yours.
Recessed board for the 90 shown here with a 105 & 80 lenses:
This is the raised panel for longer lenses. Shown with a 39 mm opening and reversed with a large opening for a 240-360 lens.
I have 3 of the latter that I don’t need. PM me. You can usually find these boards on the auction site either here or in in UK. I bought mine at auction in the UK? Cheaper than custom. Three recessed boards available now at auction for a tenth of what you paid for custom. Don't re-invent the wheel!
What Luis posted matches what I remember from my 810H.

I have all my longer lenses mounted on Durst Lapla boards which are cheaper and easier to find than DeVere boards. I then took a DeVere raised lens panel and had a Unipla seat mounted on it. This allows me to use Durst Lapla mounted enlarging lenses on my DeVere or Durst enlarger. Since I also have a Durst enlarger, I didn't have to re-mount all my lenses.

Great idea with the Durst lensboard adapter.
Some better shots of the adaptor board.

The Adaptor using a DeVere raised panel board.SKG did the mounting. Works with lenses from 135 to 240 mm. My 105 & 80 Apo are on Devere recessed boards shown above.
Nice solution, Luis.

Thank you all for your recommendations and ideas! Luis, what is the diameter of the boards that you have available? The size is about 6inches across... does that sound about right?Some better shots of the adaptor board.

Greg, I thought the OP was looking for a Board for her DeVere enlarger, not Durst. Not sure what you mean by your comment above. It would help if the OP gave some dimensions on the Boards that came with her 801H enlarger. I still suspect it uses the same Boards as the 5108 and the 504 enlargers.
I'll post some photos of the measurements of the DeVere boards tonight. Can you post some photos of the boards you have with a take across it so we can see size? L
