No Subject

Hi all,

I am lucky enough to have aquired a macrostereo
camera.  It is a handmade hack by a man named Mr.
Peterson.  It is very interesting.  If anyone would
like to look at the little bit of paper work that I
have on it, I put it up on my site:

The only 2 things that I am not super happy about in
order of importance are:

1)  Even though it takes 5p image pairs (way cool!)
the stereo window even when used in a 4p mount is much
further back than I would want (way sucks!).  I want
to try and alter the camera so that I can atleast
mount the film in 5p closeup mounts.

2)  No viewfinder of any kind.  I would like to be
able to have an idea of what I am composing.

So, any help would be appreciated.  I don't want to
try and separate the lenses.  They are in their place,
and I don't want to mess with that.  But, the lenses
and shutter are part of one piece that is screwed to 
risers that are screwed to the body of the camera.  My
thought of a solution is to get more risers and set
the lenses (which are from a nimslo) further away from
the film so that the subject that will be in focus
will be closer to the lenses, and then alow me to use
more of what is exposed on each chip.

Does that make sense?  Am I missing something?  Should
I buy a busted up old SLR to steal its ground glass so
I can put it into the film chamber to check on the
focus?  I have never done anything like this before.
