Did you split flat washers? Been thinking of doing that myself. Been told to watch it though, as they tend to grab pretty hard and screw into the ground. Yeah I just split some washers. I’m f they are spread and gapped properly to elongate the pitch it helps reduce the wanting to just screw into the ground. That’s why I tested it using one hand. Works well for a few pieces of scrap laying around and about 10 minutes of work.

On the old Mont 2 low levers I cut out the top inside corners of the levers , and ground the outside jaw ramp angles. Makes em hi lever and no need to remove mailable jaws. Also, for the broken jawed ones. Sleepy Creek 175 round jaws are direct fit.
Guys today are lucky with out of the box fit and finish on many models.

After seeing these, I'm ashamed to post mine! Lol.
When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.
