Hi folks,
Just removed the self timer lever from my OM-2 in order to replace the leather and now find that I cannot re-engage it with the clockwork mechanism that drives the self timer. Does anyone know the required trick to relocate the lever with the mechanism?
Cheers, Colin

I feel daft answering my own questions, but just have to say I've now got it sorted :-)
All I had to do was slightly "prime" the clockwork mechanism by rotating the inner metal lever by about 1/8 turn anti-clockwise. The main plastic lever then dropped into place and engages nicely. OM looks way cool now. Blue (fake) lizard skin leather :-)
Cheers, Colin
