Fitting a Frizzen to Pan

[smart dog]

Thanks for all the replys.  After reading them and looking at the lock, I believe
It is the lug  preventing the frizzen from closing.  I'll remove the lug, flatten the top of the pan and then fit the frizzen. Maybe even try one on the guns turkey hunting.  Got a turkey 2 weeks ago on I89 near Royalton. Thankfully no damage to the car.

Hi,
I am just 15 miles north of Rt 12 from Royalton.  If you have problems just come up to my shop.

I know the next time I fit a new frizzen to an existing lock, I'm likely to try superglue to hold it in place for drilling. I still won't like doing it! Anyway I did one and got it to fit well, then of course it warped a little when I hardened and tempered it... So I had to fit it AGAIN.

Good luck with yours, and have patience. If you get frustrated, walk away for a bit.
