Thanks Michael, sorry you were affected by this terrible condition. It can happen to anyone, 50's is the starting territory for it. My mum has been telling me for decades, " if i lose my marbles then shoot me", my standard reply for that has always been " dont worry mum i bought the shotgun years ago ". The same goes for me, not being able to communicate or comprehend is a very lonely place, now known to me as Aphasia. My mum had no warning of arriving there, I've had my warning and it was my mum that gave it to me. -

It's the hole in the mainplate that has become too big due to wear. I will try with some fine abrasive paper wrapped around a small file. I will start with 3000 grit and see what effect that has. Or I could try with a homemade burnisher. Anyway, I will post the result here soon. -

OK, but first what is the reason why the stem You have 'keeps pulling out'? Is it wear of the setting lever, the retaining screw/hole, the hole in the plate for the stem? Is there a danger that if You reduce the 'hub' diameter, the new stem will start pulling out too? Yes, the hub diameter can be reduced not using lathe, just pin vice and good hand grinding tool needed, but some dexterity and skill needed too for good result. -

Thank you, I think that could work but ideally I wouldn't want to take material from the mainplate if there was another option.
