We at Olympus would put a little pliobond on the threads of the cap before
tightening.

Subject: Re: [OM] self timer lever on OM-2n

the

| lever, not to help hold the screw in. You should just be able to tighten
the
| screw using a sharp pointed pair of tweezers (it's a left-hand thread!)

in
| the future.
