There's a company that makes custom mount adapters in the UK, called
'SRB' or very similar, although one offs would probably be expensive but
they may be able to help. I think their URL is <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.srbfilm.co.uk" target="_blank">www.srbfilm.co.uk</a>

Either that or find a cheap Pentax 6x7 body and take it to bits.

Would an enlarging lens work? One would be quite easy to mount to
whatever you desired.

This last suggestion is probably the most cost effective and professional
way to do it. Find a broken camera on that-well-known-auction site.
Otherwise, if it were me, I'd call a Pentax repair place and request a
replacement lens mount - probably the quickest, local way to do it if
you don't care for auctions.

Better still, ring Pentax UK and explain that you're looking into the
possibility of fitting a 5x5cm CCD into a 67 and you could do with some
bodies to work on

An extension tube has both a male and female lens mount on it and it
would be much cheaper than an entire body. The tube would also give
your machinist a little more 'meat' to work with.
