The side plate should not move(no rattle) with it installed and the TD lever in the up position; with or without the lever and pin.

The TD lever stem actually cams the plate to the rear(not "in") into a tight fit to the frame when fitted correctly; of course the arm of the lever holds in in or down by pressing against the tab.

Did the #82 not come with a lever and pin?

Okay good to know. No it was just a plate no pin or lever. I should not have used the word rattle, more a slight and I mean very slight movement. A best educated guess would be a 1/2 mm up and down. that is with the TD lever up locked. Still it will be going to the smith for fitting just to make darn sure.
