I cant find a Sinar standard lensboard Copal # 0 for this lens. What are the cons of using this lensboard instead the normal one ?

If it works, why don’t you use it? Normal Copal 0 Sinar lens boards show up on Ebay every now and then.

It extends the lens slightly so may upset the tilt geometry a little. So perhaps not Quite as fast to focus using tilt and or Swing.

Sinar mounted lenses in central shutters on lens plates with such height-adjusted plastic tubes so that you can also use them with Sinar rear lens shutters. This is ok for small lenses. With large, heavy lenses it is questionable.

I agree, but this is a quite old thread from 2022. The OP asked a question and got some good answers, but never come back to this discussion. So I think it's worthless to try to answer before he/she comes back.
