Here's the shot of the back, showing the septum/modification detail several of 
you have asked for. The sprocket advance gear, visible on the upper right, and 
the support column that's part of the film guide casting both need to be filed 
to get clearance for the image area. You only file the area below the sprocket 
teeth, not the teeth themselves! I used a Bristol Spline wrench (like you use 
on a Revere to pull the top plate) to remove the center retaining screw for 
the sprocket, but a hex wrench may also work. Again, the entire modification 
was done with a Dremel, a drill press, and hand tools (mostly files). No 
machine shop needed. Also I mentioned a double exposure type of Realist body 
was needed in an earlier post. Delete that. Any Realist body will work. Since 
all of the shutter trip linkage is removed, you just push the right hand 
release button on the top plate edge to allow you to advance the film.
