[Konvas] making an OCT19 Red mount

[Camak, Lael (US - MGTTS)]

Douglas doesn't sell many, and like most of us, updating his website is
not his forte or constant desire.  He usually only makes them upon order
although he occasionally has an extra one on hand.  They work great.

Interesting Douglas doesn't have the red/lomo mount listed on his site.
In any event I think I'm going to try and make my own mount.  I've been
learning how to CNC and it will give me a change to try out some of my
new skills.  Is there anything unique or particular about the red/oct19
plate that I should know about?  For those who have one is there
anything tricky about it?

I was going to scrap an OCT19 ring off of an old 2m body I don't use and
then basically just mount it to a piece of aluminum with one big hole
for the lens to go through and a bunch of screw holes for the OCT19 ring
to mount and the piece to attach to the red.  Sound like a decent plan?
Will some standard grade aluminum be good enough or should I do
stainless steel or something,  what are random machined camera parts
usually made out of?

All the best,
Brad
