Teflon tape (plumbing tape) can be used to shim the demi threads. I have done this briefly, but the pen repair gurus will frown upon this practice.
NOT the Mark III UK pen, as the hood has a different thread than the US pens.
Should use section sealant or shellac to seal the hood to the connector.
Though I have not tried to put a demi hood on a standard 51.
