The mounting block on the bottom of the MR-4 can be aligned to prevent the 
meter from ever touching the top plate of the camera. Look on the bottom of 
the meter. The mounting block appears to be held on by five screws; two 
small, and three large. But in fact it's held on by the three large screws. 
The two small screws are set screws that adjust the meter's alignment 
around the fore/aft horizontal axis. By loosening all three large screws 
slightly, and tightening the tiny set screw closer to the left end of the 
meter, and then re-tightening the three large screws you will rotate the 
meter and lift the left end away from the top of the camera. Voila! No more 
scratching the top plate.
