An interesting topic, but I was hoping for a better answer.

When I faced this problem a few years ago I didn’t have time to faff around, so dealt with it by buying another lid with almost virgin slots.

Ever since, however, I have been thinking about how the worn one could be repaired. Like Danny, I don’t like the idea of ‘squaring’ the slots and fitting sleeves on the pins. My slots are probably too far gone for that anyway (see pic).



What has crossed my mind (although I haven’t tried it):

1. Making a fillet of brass to fill the worn-out part of the slot (perhaps after first ‘squaring’ the slot), and then fixing the fillet in place by soldering it to the existing brass insert. I don’t know if one would be able to get enough heat there without melting the die-cast part of the lid.

2. If soldering doesn’t work, to fix the fillet in place with an epoxy adhesive.

Any chance of that working?
