Note the FM3a screens are even better than the FM2/FE2 screens.

Hi Godfrey and Happy New Year.
I like the idea of the FM ring on an FE2!
I'd simply scavenge it off the FM I have.
And thanks for all the other comments and suggestions in your
previous posts.

This may just be my copy, the prism shows very faint seperation

You have a bad prism and you could fit a brighter screen
The FM2 and FM2n won't mount Non AI lenses without modification
so doesn't do me any good on my older glass.
(Now where's my Dremel?) ;-)
Forget the dremel. Buy the FM coupling ring assembly and fit it to
the FM2 or FE2. That's what I did. Technician fitted it to mine while
I waited. Works perfectly, if a bit expensive. Might need to source
it from an otherwise junked body nowadays.
Fitting the later focusing screen was more of a pain.
