Widelux timer

Anyone tried to adapt a timer to a Widelux f series. I noticed the collet around the shutter release willl unscrew on my F8. I have not took it off. Wondering if a timer for a III series Leica could be used if a threaded collet was made to replace the factory one. Thoughts

If you put the WideLux on a tripod and a self timer, you could pop up and down in several locations in the same photographs!
