Leica M6 back door hinge broken

<p>Tapping a small thread like that by hand is risky. If the tap siezes and breaks, you are screwed. There's a polymer product for sealing threads and closely fitting parts called "Loctite" which is available in different viscosities. A tiny droplet to a slip fitted pin and press it into the hole. In less than an hour it should be ready to use. Good luck, pal!</p>

<p>Bill, I didn't thread but just did a slip fitted pin (see my above post for the final job). I used epoxy instead of Loctite. I have Loctite Lock'n Seal but I never thought I could use it for that purpose! Thanks for reminder!..<br>
