This was in the back of my mind when I penned the reply which is why I
added the rider 'if it fits'. I found a cover for an MD2 hole but its a
screw fitting (chrome) and I checked it against a scrapped OM2SP before
work this morning. It fits that ok but I quickly checked a scrapped OM1 and
noted the bayonet fitting on that model. I looked for my OM2n (suprisingly
not scrapped (but well battered)) but couldn't locate it in the rush
between scoffing my porridge and getting the car out - I leave cameras all
over the house (much to the chagrin of the wife).

I think a black cover that I peeked at this morning was a bayonet fitting
type but the original poster (Dave Bulger?) preffered chrome. I'll check
again tonight.

John.
