looking real good :-)
thanks for sharing … always great to see other things can do the trick

what happen to the inside caliber as we call it here in Denmark
is proppebly too much rust right there where it broke after all its a base product
witch work like an acid wuold have done
and there cuold have been a flaw in the metal from new

if it has been a devider I wuold be sure it wuold have been becourse the hole
to the fingerscrew to dance around with

well better luck with the next caliber

Dennis, I had that one in the pan when it went off with a small pop, must be some pressure on that part.

yep there is :-)
try to take the outside caliber and screw the fingernut out to the end
and then try with two fingers to press the legs together just on the outside of the screw…...
not the easyest thing to do… right :-)
