Run away before you drown!
Looks awesome, and a more affordable solution than those kits online.

Wish this topic had existed a few months ago, I bought a Nikon F2 Photomic on eBay and had to refoam the mirror because it was starting to crumble. Got one of those kits on eBay for $15 or something, was cut really well and works great so far but way less DIY than felt and hand cutting.

Any thoughts on how to fix the curtain? Does it just need some sort of lubricant or do you think it might actually be bent or corroding somehow? Sometimes I wish we could xray these things to check all the placements of tiny metal things for alignment issues.
