While waiting for the parts, I turned my attention to a 28mm f2.8 ai Nikkor that I acquired essentially for free when buying an FM - the rear glass was badly scored ( these are very vulnerable as they protrude from the mount quite a lot)  I managed to swap a non ai 50mm f1.4 for another 28mm f2.8 which had been dropped and damaged the front ring but the rear glass was perfect - quick swap over and focus adjustment and the now pretty perfect 28mm sold this evening making £90 - 100% profit on the deal - just needed to be patient for the right parts at the right price!
