I bought a Canonet GIII QL17 a few months ago. When I got it I noticed that the right (shutter release side) strap mount was missing. Both sides of the neck strap was attached to the left side. I don't like the way it hangs around my neck this way.

So I have a few questions about fixing this:

Is there an easy way to fix this?
Is there room for a bolt and a nut or something like that to replace the strap mount?
Can I buy a new mount from somewhere/someone? Maybe someone with a spare part camera could sell me one? I don't want to buy a whole spare part camera because of the expensive shipping.
Is it easy to remove (and replace) top cover and have a look (or fix it). How?

Thanks for your time!
