Eclair Cameras: u16 gate

[eric jarvies <eric@earthid.org>]

i made a rubber mold of my npr gate and then made a plastic posative and 
opened the gate from edge to edge(15mm) ...  the mold has the orginal 
r16gate.  the pont is, if anyone wants to test before hacking their 
gate, i can pour some more liquid plastic into the mold and send you 
one.  you can use a dremel and open it up as much as you would like 
using a microfine bit ... you do not need ot make it perfect, just 
enough so you can roll some film and process it and check out the 
results.  the cost of the plastic and my time would set you back $35.00 
plus postage.  just unscrew your metal plate and replace it with the 
plastic plate and do some tests ... or, you cna purchase some rubber 
liquid mix and plastic liquid mix and make the mold and posative part 
yourself for about $75.00 in materials and then your time.  i find 
myself doing this now when i get the urge to modify something ... and 
recently started using a low melt allow, for mounts and other load 
bearing componants that need to be stronger then plastic.
