Thank You Andrealed!

This is a terrific bargain: Ffordes in the UK offer similar goods at £54.99!

The seller claims 500 available...but, sorry, BEFORE posting the link I bought one for me... :D

[FrankS]

Some may find this reassuring and useful, but I just eyeball the trim and do it freehand. Just another option.

For those of us who are not fluent in Italian, similar ones are being sold by a "lakesuwa" on ooBoy oBoy for a "Buy now" of $15, and $3.75 shipping from Marietta, Ga. It may be almost worth it.

That's it Stiwari... I bought it from Lakesuwa...I've posted the link but I am not the seller...I am one of the buyers...

I cut film free-hand for the bottomloader too. This means that either I've got a good eye for reproducing the required shape, or (and this is more likely) the actual shape doesn't really matter. The only thing required is that you clear about the width of the pressure plate..

I do it freehand too, and the only thing that needs to be watched is that the cut curves up to the side. A straight angle (i.e. cut down from the side, then cut inward from the beginning) isn't the best. I've cut it narrower and wider, never had a problem.
