st-7 camera lens adapter / GM-8

i would like to attach my st-7e directly to my gm-8 what is the best(and cheapest) way to do that? I see that there is a threaded hole on one side of the st-7 but i don't want to screw anything in there that could damage the ccd or electronics is there some protective mechanism that will stop from screwing something to deep?

once i am able to get it attached i would like to try wide field shots with my olympus lens. i know that you can buy the cla-7 forB&W shots (if anyone has had success with this please let me know any pictures would be appeciated) and you can get the mandel or brady adapter for color but i am looking for a cheaper alternative to see if i can get any results. I have an old end cap for one of the olympus lens that i am going to drill out a hole to attach lens
to ccd on one side and then i can screw the olympus lens to the other end has anyone tried this or have any thoughts? thanks dan
