Does anyone know of a source for the brackets used to hold a lens board to the standard? I’m thinking specifically of the sliding bit with the diagonal holes that locks the board in place. I don’t even know what to call it in order to search.

An ebay parts camera might be the easiest and cheapest place, or a WTB ad here. I made up one for a board adapter I made, using some aluminum angle stock from the hardware store. It's not super hard if you have some basic tools.

Another possible source would be Richard Ritter http://www.lg4mat.net

thanks. I'm trying to adapt a common lensboard to a very uncommon lens board. I've contemplated having SK Grimes make me one, but I wanted to see if I could hack it up myself. I have one of the uncommon lens boards (Galvin 6x9), so we'll see. It did occus to me that if nothing else, I could find an adapter board on eBay, and just pull the parts off that, but it still feels like spending $100 to get $5 worth of hardware, but if that's the easiest way, I may break down.
