It might be possible to manufacture a lens board adapter that would adapt a more standard 6x6 8x10 front-standard (Deardorff etc) to Sinar boards. I could see it being tricky though as a Sinar board is almost 5.5". It might have to be made of metal even if the 8x10 camera is wood.
My early model Gibellini wooden camera uses a Sinar board
My Phillips 8x10 folder takes Sinar boards. It's long out of production. But I mostly use a Sinar to Technika adapter board on it for sake of better overall portability.
A few Wisner camera he did it as a custom charge,
Deadorff with an adapter board.

Bought a Wisner 8x10 Technical Field in 1990, and took delivery after about a year wait. Decent camera, and worked fine with a wife and kids to help tote the 15 lbs Gitzo tripod, a couple of lenses, etc. I am now 61 and reducing my load since the kids are grown and moved out. They made great porters and worked cheap..... Still have the wife but she's less motivated to do porter work now.
Still have lenses but sold the Wisner to China some years back. Sinars are too cumbersome in the field so I'm looking for a lite weight field camera to use with my smaller lenses (Schneider G-Clarons, etc.).
