hows the dog bite?

Spot on……

All solved with a bit of filing in the vice.

The backing plates are guillotined in a factory, and that minimal untidiness on the cut made one plate microspically thicker than it needed to be.

Once filled back, easy fit, copper slip and assembled.

Dog bite bruise receding. Still pissed at the owners, not the dog.
