I bought a long enough cable release to reach my M from the handle hole. Then I went out to the garage and began serching for something of the correct diameter to fit the hole in the handle, intending to drill it out to fit the cable. What I found was a Radio Shack 1/4 in female stereo line plug with a pliable plastic jacket. The cable release slipped through the hole in the plug and held firmly in place. The plug slide into the hole in the handle and also fit tightly enough to stay put. Problem solved.
