For a non-destructive way of getting a bellows with tilt (or is it swing)
how about -

1) Buy an OM focussing rail

2) Remove the end stop from one end of the focussing rail and the front of
the bellows.

3) Join the two with a mini ball and socket head (e.g. the Manfroto 210B/0970)

4) Put the camera bellows mount on one rail and the lens mount on the other.

You will need adaptors on both ends of the head (the thread on the end of
the bellows is a finer pitch than a standard tripod fitting) but these
should not be too difficult to make.
