I mean the screw that, when mounted on a lens, and mounted on a camera,
sits at the top (by the red dot on the lens isn't it?).
My warning about 'OL' mounts stands; some are just like the earlier
(dangerous) mounts... you should try to get one where the screw holes er
closest to 12 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 8 o'clock.
Even the old 'OL' mounts can be fixed with a little epoxy or similar of
course.

By "top screw" I'm assuming you mean the one just clockwise of the
