sliding blocks for LF cameras

[eddie]

hello all,
the sliding block on my 8x10 B&J need some repair. can anyone shoot a few pictures of their sliding blocks so i get an idea how to repair it properly?
the photos do not necessarily need to be B&J. a kodak 2D or similar will do fine.

thanks for the help.

Which B&J do you have? Is it the Rembrandt studio camera? I have one of those with the sliding back for two exposures on 4X5, if that will help.
EDIT: Oops! Do you mean the back, or the sliding tripod mount block? Senior moments abound around here. I have a 2D 5X7, if that'll do it. Should be the same as 8X10 on a smaller scale.

yes, thanks glenn.

any sliding tripod block will do (sorry i thought i had said that...). i just need to see some pics so i am sure to repair mine in the best way.

cheers

Eddie, Will take some photos of mine tonight. Let me know if there's any particular angle or view you would like to see.

thanks jan,
i am looking for the metal 90 degree angles and how they attach to the bed. and how they are tightened to fix the bed onto a certain place on the rail.

thanks all
