Several years ago I modified my F&S 12x20 to accept modern holders (mine are S&S). I cut a groove in the back using a router to accommodate the rib lock on the holder.
That operation was not for the faint of heart, I can assure you! It required making a jig which fit snugly into the back of the camera and provided a fence against which to move the router. I started off with a very shallow cut before working to my intended depth.
The resulting modification works very well. I still only have three holders for that camera. But they each fit perfectly. :-)
The only downside is that the amount of wood that I removed for the groove didn't reduce the weight of the camera enough to make it any easier to carry!
