There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!

Although the major point is resolved, a note for hooligans, dilettantes and novices. I had a Yashica TLR with a sticky shutter, which was otherwise beyond economical repair, where I had exactly the described problem of flushing the shutter with lighter fluid, it would work for a couple of days, then get sticky again. I managed to fix it - so far, permanently - by flushing the shutter again, but leaving the shutter *open* by putting it on bulb and holding the release down with a rubber band. This seems to have allowed the dissolved grime to solidify at the 'outer' end of the shutter's travel, leaving the time-sensitive part adequately clean.
I think some shutters are simple and better
I have 2 Yashica A that always work
The other fancy Yashica fail often
