Thanks for reminding me that with the toggle posts are held in the pressure plate by the lining and not the cover plate. I was getting myself even more confused than normal!
I've just taken the cover plate off and, for right or wrong, filed down the two higher repair pegs so that all three are now the same depth to within 0.05mm which I was fairly pleased with. On the spring side of the cover plate the repair pegs have been peened over like rivets and not centre punched in place which I would have thought more likely if it was to stop a screw undoing.
Just in case they are headed pins rather than grub screws I'm wondering if I should tack weld them once I'm sure the toggle heights are all OK. To be honest I'm not that good at welding but I do have a MIG set so could probably get a reasonably strong tack in place for added security.
What do you think?
John.
