There is another solution with the OM-1n, but not the OM-1. The TTL Auto
Connector Type 4 fits the OM-1, allowing the flash to be mounted on a
separate bracket. Takes care of T-32 weight/torque issues and red-eye too.

BA, here's a very effective & permanent solution for the fragile and
perpetually loose hot shoes on the 1 and 2. It has worked perfectly for me.
Replace the body with a 4. No amount of torque will make that shoe stay in
place and it's not sturdy enough to secure a T32 anyway, in my opinion. On
the other hand, an OM-1 will probably still be working several decades after the last
capacitor in the last circuit board in the last 4 expires. <shrug>
No free lunch? I think the solution for 1 owners is to keep the shoe in a film
can so it cannot fall off.
