[pure-silver] Slightly OT...mounting barrel lenses.

Hello all,
I figured that there must be people in this group who have come across
the same problem, (and found a solution), namely mounting a barrel lens
that is missing it's retaining or mounting ring. I have a Kodak
Anastigmat #33 171mm, Kodak Anastigmat 203mm/7.7, and a Russian no name
161mm.
I want to use them with my 3¼ x 4¼ and 4x5 Speeds but how how to secure
them to the lens boards? Anybody here find a way around the problem?
Since the they will be use on Speeds, I thought one solution would be to
permanently mount, (epoxy?) each lens on a 3¼ x 4¼ Speed lens holder
and make an adapter to mount the small board on the larger board of the
4x5 Speed.
Was there ever an adapter made for mounting the 3x4 board on a 4x5 Speed?
I'm open to suggestions.. Gluing them does sound extreme, but since they
are barrel lenses, they would only be used on the Speeds. At least they
wouldn't be collecting dust, clean, no marks...
All ideas welcome.. Thanks.
How do the Kodak Anastigmats rate?
Greetings,
Bogdan
