Canon FL lenses

Does anyone know if it is possible to get an adapter to use Canon FL glass on a 4/3 body? I have looked on the Web and not been able to see any adapters but from what I have read the register distance on FL lenses is (slightly) more than that required for 4/3 lenses so it may be possible - although there is not much room to play with. It may be that the breech lock arrangement adds a requirement for too much thickness to make it feasible. I would dearly love to use the Fl glass. I have an adapter that allows me to use the Fl lenses on LTM bodies (un coupled of course) but its the digital possibilities that interest me.

Try above link , this guy can make quality custom made adapters on reasonable price. I never seen any of this adapter.

The FL bayonet and register is the same as the FD; I don't know of any adapter for that mount to any DSLR that focuses to infinity without a correcting element.
