I had this on a recently acquired OM-4 (I've got the bug for those now...)
and the seller had thoughtfully included the pieces. Couldn't get it to
thread up until I realized that it was a *left-hand* thread screw. Now its
on there, but I'm wondering if I should put a dot of removable Loctite on
the screw?
