That is a possibility, but I think I'm ok with the progress so far on
"improving" the side plate. A completely "pit free" side plate would not look right either.
I also found and re-strawed a commercially numbered take down lever, which looks much better to me.
Current status and before pictures below.
I need to do a little more work on the side plate to straighten up the raised part.
