I'm adapting a wooden Ansco 8x10 lensboard to accept Calumet CC-400 lensboards (4x4") and need to find a source for a set of metal sliding clamps - that's what S.K. Grimes calls them, the doohickeys that keep lensboards attached to the standard.

If anyone knows about a source (or the proper name of such an item), I would like to hear from them.

Thanks,

Thorney

small wing nuts also work. They are easily made if not available in local hardware store.

I've also used small screen door retainers, they screw on and pivot around, check the pics thread, I should have some pictures in there of the 8x10 quickie that I built.
