Hello crew, hope everyone is well.
I am at the stage (in rebuild) of attaching the half-nut lever into the apron of my 9A, and having a bit of a time with it.
I noticed that a very thin part of the casting was broken, but not sure that's my problem or not. I looked at a few for sale
on EPay, and it looks like 3 of them all have the same broken area, but one doesn't.
Maybe the factory chipped this thin wall out?
Thought I'd check with those familiar with the half-nut lever for feedback. It sure looks broken to me.
Thanks for your comments and suggestions as usual.

PS: I just watched a Mr. Pete222 video and noticed the half-nut lever on an apron that he disassembled showed the same breakout,
so maybe it's the way its supposed to be.
2nd PS: Never mind; I got it figured out. Thanks anyway.
