I'm looking for the screw-on cover that covers the contacts for the motor drive on the body of the F3 when the drive is not attached.

(Yes I have looked in the storage compartment inside the motor drive battery holder, but unfortunately it's not there!)

They have 1 or 2 on ebay. I have a spare, but shipping to SA will be horrendous, I think.

You can always use some black electrical, duck or masking tape to make it light tight. I did it that way on mine F3. First I inserted small circle of black rubber in the hole and cover it with masking tape. It works!

Thanks guys. I've decided to use that camera for spare parts as it has too many issues.
