RB67 Pro: Installing New Aftermarket Bellows

Installing new bellows on an RB67 Pro. Replacing bellows was an easier operation when Mamiya still sold repair parts as they supplied the bellows attached to the front and rear frames. These days, replacement bellows that are sold online are just the bellows only, you need to do a bit of scraping the old bellows off the rear frame (it’s glued on ) and reattaching the new bellows to the frame. Often (as was the case here), the replacement bellows don’t have a perfect fit and the front frame needs some slight modification to fit properly.
