thanks Richard,
The old pins can be left in but need to be filed
down. I think B&J had moved from the longer
pins to more of a nub (the same as the 2-D)
as well as changing the postion of the clasp.

I rather think roll pins the right size can be found at a hardware
store. You will have to drill new holes for them. Possibly the old pins can
be left in place if they don't interfere with anything.

Maybe set screws would work.

Hi everyone!
I received the B&J 8x10 to 4x5 reducing back.
It fits my 8x10 Eastman 2-D but the pins
are offset a quarter inch further towards the
edge. They will be removed. I think using
nails of the right diameter and removing the
heads will work. I mainly got this reducing
back to hold the Sinarsix to measure the
light for expensive 8x10 film, particularly
the new Impossible Polariod Color.

Thanks for the definitive answer.
Now, since Rich is complaining that the springs on his 2D back are
weak, it seems to me they could be replaced. I don't know if you would
undertake this, I don't know of anyone else who currently works on LF
cameras.

A Deardorff back is 12" x 12" I don't know what an Eastman back is but
they're not interchangeable. Ken, here's my site
