Success!
Bit of aluminium tape did the trick, it's a little stiff to mount the lens but meters a treat :) Looking forward to a nice day to give this a go, if it's any good it'll be a proper bargain.
Thanks for all your help, that's a neat bit of knowledge to have about the metallic bases!

You are correct. The lens mount acts like a paper punch with the chad stuck in the hole. This works just fine. And unless you are in the habit of transporting your camera body without either an attached lens or body cap, it is doubtful the chad will just fall out. I've had one mounted in my K-r for going on 10 months. I could remove it in a few minutes if I wanted to do so with no damage whatsoever to my camera. I have yet to find any reason to to remove it.
