Hmmmm, I think I remember that Novoflex used to (or still does) produce a
goose-neck 'cold'-shoe mount for flashes for macro-work. Maybe the other end
could be attached to the base of the bellows or the tripod (I might find an old
catalogue at work)? That should be a very 'flexible' solution and you wouldn't
have to alter the the front plate of the bellows.
As for the ring flash: couldn't you possibly attach that (probably using the
obligatory rubber band) to the appropriate Lieberkuehn-reflector for these
lenses (PM-LM). That should give a very even light, at least for the longer
working distances.
I hope this is of any use to you,
Cheers,
