Ready the Body

Since having the focus knob on the front of the camera say "Model 160" wouldn't look good with a 110A, it would be a good idea to swap them. So, do the following step to both camera bodies.

Pull the focus rail out of the way and tape it to keep it from falling back.

Keep the washers, blue arrows, and remove the focus knob, red arrow.

You can also remove the metal tab by lifting the metal spring, green arrows, and sliding it out the grooves.

Peel the leather off the front door, don't worry about any glue left, you can scrape it off with a razorblade. If you don't have any other original leather pieces to use as templates, BE CAREFUL when peeling. A tear or stretch can make cutting new leather difficult.

Remove the strip along the bottom.

If you haven't already, remove the small piece of leather by the front latch as well.

To remove the front leather, unscrew the front latch button.

There are a couple of edges and cuts to mind with this piece of leather when peeling.

Now that the camera body is basically clean. It is time to get dirty.
