I would like to get some new leather for my Mamiya RB67 but it seems hard to find.
Anybody here who knows where to get it?
Or at least some templates to cut my own?

the textured leatherete can be bought in sheets from microtools.com. it comes in 2 or 3 textures from rough to fine gravel. use the old you peeled off as a template.

i use double sided tape, 3m has a very thin tape designed for car trim and outdoor use.

some people use something like liquid nails... cant remember the name of the stuff but im sure someone will chime in.

I think paul ron is referring to Pliobond. It's pretty much permanent, but stays flexible, and is available at most local hardware store (Ace, HD, Lowe's).

The thing is that the previous owner has changed the leather at some point and he cut them freehand so i can not use the old ones thats why I'm looking for som templates.

It's the Professional S.
It would be super if you could find them.
