I don't think it's that simple. It seems to me it will fit with a shim under it since it would be a loose fit on MHS. A strip of sinktube maybe.

The outside diameter of a Graflex is 1.5". The outside diamter of a DF4GR is 1.625". A clamp made to fit 1.5" diameter is going to have a hard time fitting a 1.625" diameter part. The MHS parts are 1.45" diameter and that is why you need a shim if you use a clamp with a standard MHS part.

Im sure if you ask tim, he'll give you the price for custom work to shave it to 1.5"

Oh yes..my bad. The one that looks like a grip sleeve. That makes sense.
I have heard of people making their own clamps out of sheet metal if that's any help.

ok, thank you very much for the help, i have a piece of brass that is kind of shaped similarly to the clamp with half of the tube part cut off, i was also thinking i could get a clamp made based on that but might be jjust as easy to get the grooved sleeve machined.
again thank you, all of all your information has been noted :)
