Does anyone know if Arca-Swiss ever made a spring back for the F-Line cameras or if anyone/another manufacturer made one for them?

The reason for the question is that I love shooting plates with my Kodak Recomar 18, but I would really like to use some of my Petzval lenses and others. I have an Arca Swiss F-Classic that I'd like to use my Linhof 6x9 plate holders with or anyone's holders really, without switching camera systems to do it. The current Arca 6x9 back only has enough space/width for film holders. I'd prefer to not have to take the back apart and 3d print spacers to make it fit.

Thanks in advance!
Jess

I've never seen one for the F-line 6x9, but I think they made one for the Oschwald era 6x9. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure the Oschwald 6x9 parts don't fit, but they are 110mm, so it may be possible to modify the oschwald back to fit.

EDIT: You can see the spring back on this one:


If you can find plate holders that can also attach using graflok, you could use that.
