So Im cobbling up Durst parts for my enlarger. Finally paid crazy money they ask for for a piece of metal donut and only found out a SIXPLA lensboard doesnt fit in my M800. There is no mention of anything about the M800, the only manual I can find is for an M700 in french and nowhere did it say one durst lensboard is different from another Durst lensboard. Getting a little frustrating here. Just got this in the mail and it just falls right through... Can someone please help me out here?

I expect then that your reference to the french M700 manual in your post above was a slip.
Jollinger's has an M805 manual for download.

Maybe less troublesome would be to make as good metering as possible of the female part of that cone and with that take the non-fitting part to a local machine-shop to custome-make a fitting one. If you have several lenses you might order several of these boards made.
