I have an old kodak folding camera. The whole lens/bellows assembly comes out in a metal box to access the film area. But there is a light leak between the metal box and the body, any one have any ideas on how to fix it.

I have a rainbow hawkeye that is built like that. It appears that the only thing keeping light out is the tight fit of the box to the film compartment. Perhaps as the leather has dried it is not making a tight fit anymore. If I was going to try and use this camera, I'd add a strip of light seal foam in the rim of the bellow/lens box.
