Welcome, W.J.
Replacement light seal foam kits are available from Paul van Tuyl,
www.olympusguy.com for $8.50 plus shipping or John Hermanson, www.zuiko.com
can replace them for you if you don't want to do it yourself. If you do it
yourself, don't glue the foam in. Friction is enough.
What part of the country was your OM-1 stolen in? (for that matter, what
country?)
Congratulations on finishing your Avid. My RV-4 is still waiting for me to
build a fuselage.
