I had the same experience - saw (and used) the Leica coupler in about 1969, when
I bought my M3, then decided to do the same for my Nikons.  I trusted epoxy,
though, and have had no problems with my Nikon "couplers" in the intervening 30
years.  If I had spare rear caps for my M lenses I'd be tempted to glue two
together, as I prefer the solid partition to the open ring of the coupler.  Just
my prefrence.
