Pentax 67, 6x7, 67ii Waist Level Finders - are they interchangable?

Once I find a 67 with finder / lens / back in serviceable condition and for less than £150 (it'll happen soon!) then I'll be joining the ranks of owners.
I was thinking about selling all my MF kit and buying a K20. On a shoot last year I shot with the 645 and the DS and you could hardly tell the difference but if we'd been looking for big enlargements I suppose film would have been better. We weren't and as only one lab here processes 120 film now the days are numbered, sadly. Pretty effective doorstop perhaps?

A lot of sellers shoot themselves in the foot by sending items to UK only, although it'll be one of these I intend taking advantage of before too long.

I've taken a flyer on this and bought a WLF from Mifsuds (10 day return, 3 months g'tee). They think it fits - nice people - but I'll feed back when I get it.....
Appreciated!
Trying not to get into the film v digital discussion ) but I use both for different things - those 6x7 negs are just amazing. Wouldn't mind betting my ME and P67 will be working long after my K10 has been replaced by a K30 (40, 50, ...).
'Lee (Frost) the Luddite' has now gone digital, but Andy Rouse has picked up his Pentax 645 again.... but that's a different string

So first question - if I can find any FWLF (6x7, 67 or 67ii) is it going to fit my 67ii?
Second question - anyone know where I could get one?
Third vaguely related question - I have a Seagull Angle Finder. Would a Nikon F5 eyepiece adaptor fit my P67ii? (This was of course the Seagull adaptor I didn't buy, but I thought I'd ask the question before I tried!
Responses/ideas really appreciated!
(This is a wonderful camera btw)
