ektalite screen and first-surface mirror were two of the things that the Super-D had that others didn't have. Even if it didn't have one before, adding one should be doable, though might require adjustment to the upper focus screen positioning (shimming).

Measure the distance to the film of one of your holders from the outer edge of the holder, it should be .197 ± .007 inch. Mount a GG the same distance as the surface of a sheet of film in a holder to the camera back.
Check infinity focus on the back GG to the view screen with a good loupe. Adjust the view screen to match the back if necessary.
