I have a Mamiya C33 whose waist level finder hood is loose. I tried to adjust it and miserably failed. There is a small stopper that prevents the hood from opening too far (past the point where it is vertical). There should probably be two of those but my camera only had one of them. Anyway, while I was attempting to adjust this stopper, I broke it off.

I am pretty sure that I can pry the part of the screw that is still in the base of the WLF, so I guess what I would need is some sort of improvised stopper. I just cannot come up with an idea for how to make one. Does anybody here have an idea how to approach this (or even understand what I am talking about)?

This problem does not prevent me from using this camera, the only problem is that the hood kind of flops around a bit when I use the camera, which annoys me enough to want to fix this.

Thanks - Markus
