BTW - does anybody know how long the wait times are in NJ right now?  

Thanks

Just got quoted 9 weeks assuming all parts are available. If that sounds nuts, that’s because it is. It’s also by a good margin the shortest time frame I’ve been quoted.

Call Leica CS in Wetzlar. Alternately DAG  might be able to help you. 

Thanks - it looks like DAG might have the part.  If not he has an M3 lever and screw that he says works for all M's - I'm just checking with him if it will work with an M10.

Happy to hear that this is resolved. The background story leaves me gobsmacked. It is like claiming that a car suspension must be disassembled to fix a flat tyre

Well you're right of course, this is more than ridiculous for what cannot be more than a five minute job. I can only assume that Leica NJ service dept' or the same in Wetzlar have a considerable back up of repairs and services awaiting their attention, and that by itself is a situation that's worrying enough by itself and should tell us something. Why so many needed repairs?

Can you update? 
Could you find the replacement?

Yes Dagcamera had it - the screw has a slot in it to make it lot easier to tighten it.  Not perfect but not bad.  Thank you to Jaapv for the lead.
