jaapv Posted June 5, 2013 Share #3 Posted June 5, 2013 You could try eBay. During the upgrade of the M9-M9P a number of users went from chrome to black and everybody received their original top back. You could take the parts from there if somebody is selling. The tools will be relatively simple and are available through the Microtools site.

pfhrased Posted June 6, 2013 Share #4 Posted June 6, 2013 You could very likely have Leica do it - they're happy to make a la carte style modifications to digital leica bodies. Get a dealer to quote for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
