If you can remove the aperture ring, it can be done with a file!
(I've done a few this way.) The trick is to remove metal back JUST
so far... (use an original- AI lens for a guide to where the AI tab
should start relative to the aperture scale and lens speed). If the
aperture ring is not removed, it is necessary to mask off and seal
areas you are not working on to avoid surface damage and metal
bits entering various openings (around focus ring, etc.).
