The only chance of new ones could come from SRB in Luton who may still have
stocks, but I think they actually manufacture only screw mount blanks now.
You could try a Want Post in uk.rec.photo.adverts, or ask MXV-
info@xxxxxxxxx - as they've listed complete BPM sets for the OM in the
recent past. You could register with eBay and leave a Wanted item there -
maybe Loot too.
So much for the free options that come to mind, but if they don't produce a
result there's always a Wanted ad in AP.
You could of course, advertise your existing bellows and mounts for sale and
buy another complete with OM mounts. Since I've bought my OM Auto Bellows,
even I am wondering whether to keep my BPM set.
