Rear swing difficult/problem with the Chamonix F2 can be fixed by using a strip of sheet sheet metal to tie the two rear frame support towers together forcing them to move in unison . Then put a pivot hole absolute on the center line of the rear frame and ground glass/film plane line to fix the center point of where the rear swing movement is applied.

This would require the connecting strip of sheet metal to be directly under the Chamonix F2's center focusing mechanism.. which would need to be modified to implement this fix. The current swing adjust slots will need to made into an arc to allow proper rear swing movement.
