I have found it almost impossible to get a sheet of pack film in a Nikor spiral without kinking it although I'm sure it was done. Agreed that the FR would be very difficult to agitate without flushing the super thin pack film out of the holders. The old metal taco tank works perfectly. It is round with a pie-cutter looking insert that holds the individual sheets folded like a taco. They can't go anywhere and any form of agitation is possible.

Nikor made a similar insert for its tanks. Not sure if it fit a special tank or the roll film tank Same deal, slots to hold the film but cupped so that the film was held in place. These tanks were agitated by inversion. I have a spiral cage Nikor sheet film tank but not a cookie-cutter one.
