Richard, The rear measurement is spot on, with the measurement you gave it would make the rear
bellows frame 1/2" wide. But one thing I'm confused at is the front measurements, the outer
measurements you give for the front bellows frame are a wee bit wider than the back of my front riser board,
not having seen one in person is the 5X7 2D front of the bellows that much larger ?
I drew up the front frame and cut out a paper template just to see and it would seem that the pinion gear
for the front rise would rub against the bellows see attached pictures ( pardon the quality it was taken with my phone ).
My board is 6 7/8" wide X 6 1/8" tall, measured full width and height taken off the front standard
and the back of the riser board that the front bellows would attach to is 6" wide X 6 1/8" tall
and the opening for the lens board measured from the inside is 4 3/16" square, does that jive with
you and Ken's 5x7 2D ?
