Help finding the right Heiland flash for MPP build

[CreechMagoo]

Im on the hunt for a Heiland flash handle to build my own MPP but im not very familiar with the MPP or the parts used. Iv done a few all original Graflex builds and want to add an MPP to the lineup but im not as familiar with the nuances or differences in Heiland flashes. any help is appreciated wether it be a lead on what to get or a build guide or just some knowledge on what to look for.

three things I can think of:
Some have rectangular port holes instead of oval
Some have end caps that are very MPP like, some don't
Some have "emitters" that are closer than others

but I have no idea what those variants are called, if anything.

Wannawanga has great blueprints

you want the rounded holes. Some have an octagonal end cap. You could use a flat coin edge end cap from another Hieland, but you'll need a clamp and button assembly.

Have you looked at Roman's Sabres? He makes a very accurate MPP replica.

yeah, iv thought about getting a convincing pre-built replica but its honestly not as fun. my first ever graflex was a kit which I ended up replacing the whole thing with original parts theseus ship style.
