Film pressure plate

["Chang, Paul" <PChang@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To all who see beyond what is visible,
I'm searching for a Nikon body to dedicate to IR photography, and plan to
install a filter between the rails (as soon as I get my shipment from WJ).
I've been shooting with a Nikkormat EL, but I cannot bring myself to put
tape inside it for sentimental reasons.  I looked at some of the cheaper
Nikon bodies (EM, FG, N4004, etc.) but these have a pressure plate with
numerous tiny little holes in them.
I have two questions: 1. Do any of you use an inexpensive Nikon body with a
smooth pressure plate, if so, what model?  2. Can I just put some smooth
electrical tape or gaffer tape over the entire pressure plate and shoot that
way?
Thanks for all your help once again.  I hope we don't go off on a tangent
discussion about mixing martini and drinking gin like with my last post
:-))).
