I just had the pleasure of seeing Jon Golden give a demo of "his" RBT mounts
the other night and they look like the way to go.  More expensive than cardboard
but cheaper than full glass + metal mask + maybe a EMDE surround.  Even an Albion
metal mask plus a cardboard foldover from Reel-3D is only a little cheaper. 

You might try them too.  Kodak has gone downhill of late so just selectively
remounting Kodak's mounting may go away for me *if* I can mount/check/evaluate
efficiently (in respect to time).  My "project list" is ten times larger
than my time schedule (etc).  I'm trying the RBT's to see if it'll fill the bill.

You might try RBT mounts.  Check the list's archives for plentiful comments about
various methods.  When Jon gets back home, he'll probably would be happy to send you
a sample (not to speak for him, but he has offered a few times here on the list).

The archives have quite a bit about both mounting hardware and philosophy.  I'm
almost ready for another round.  Better than more anagraph vs. polaroid!  :-)

P.S. - I loved the RBT cameras too -- especially the smaller autofocus one ("S1"
       I think) -- that one looks useable w/o needing a golf cart to tote it 
       around in.  It'll be on my birthday present list a few years down the 
       road.  My "want" list anyway.  :-)
