How to Modify a Polaroid Land Camera to Take 35mm film

Step 9 Making The Top Dowel

This dowel can really be a piece of anything. I used some old wood I turned for fun. Put the cartridge in and measure from the top of it the to top of the camera and cut the dowel to fit. Once again there is the weird bend in the metal at the top of the camera this time. So we need to compensate by cutting half of the dowel a 1/16" shorter like in picture 2. Gorilla glue it to the aluminum and clamp it for a strong fit.
