It's not just the thickness of old fresnel, but due to new optical distance added by fresnel...
Check graflex.org for the proper distance there, I seem to remember it around .047" (?) about thickness of a popsicle stick that can be sanded to the thickness, or brass strip (available in USA retail) was close... Four little pieces on 4 sides... Then do a close-up focusing test wide open of three items like playing cards in a row focusing on the middle card, and checking focus on developed film...
I did this, and worked well...
