I found a Schneider-kreuznach Super Angulon 90/5.6 in a fleamarket. It has a computar shutter that is broken. I was thinking about mounting the lens in a Sinar board. I have a Copal shutter in my Norma setup, so I dont really need the shutter in the lens. Any good tips on doing this ?

I went through something similar with a Kodak Anastigmat 33 in a dial set compur. I opened up the shutter and was just going to remove the blades (figuring I needed the shutter housing to keep the cell spacing correct) but was able to get the shutter working well enough that I could leave it open in T and then re-assemble it (in this case, the only thing not working is the pin that connects the shutter release lever to the internal mechanism is missing.
