Rolleiflex T lens shroud install- ?????

[Dan Daniel]

ANy hints or tricks for installing the lens shroud on a Rolleiflex T? The flash sync post is on a solid metal bracket and the shroud needs to slide over it sideways. The aperture lever protudes up from the shutter block on the same side. Best as I can tell the aperture lever needs to clear the inner ring on the lens shroud and sit on the outside right next to the indicator tape.

But I just can't get the geometry to make it all pop into place. RIght now it seems it's one of those, 'lift right, rotate left and backwards while sliding the lower left corner right and the upper right corner towards the full moon while sitting on a toadstool...' or such....

Thanks much- Dan

Ah, finally found Han's write-up of his Rollei T adventure.

You, sir, Mr. Kerensky, are a life saver. Thank you.

Now on to the whole ribbon and lever interface and making the whole shutter speed/aperture thing work.
