40.5 enlarging plate for Beseler 45

[lloyd darkrooms]

Hello I have a beseler 45 and a enlarging lens that has a diameter of 40.5. I need to make a custom plate to hold this lens. Any suggestions?

You could get the board with the 39mm hole and enlarge it.

Someone is selling 41mm CCG brand Beseler lensboards on ebay. Seems like that would be about right, assuming you have a lock ring that fits the lens.

^^^That .5mm is what it needs. You can't fit a 40.5 lens into a same size hole. If, for some reason it's easy to enlarge.
