Hi,

I guess I have to look it up. Tomorrow evening I have some time.
I'm sure the threads of the TE and the Hektor are different.
Very helpful is the Leica accesoire book made bij Hove. I also have a 
lot of old catalog's which have a wealth of information on theses things.

Cheers,

Michiel Fokkema
