Slobodan - you're absolutely right. I checked my iserts - two new ones one old one. The rivets on the side of the old one seem to be (I don't have a micrometer) fractionally prouder of the surface and cause the back problems when trying to close it. The one thing I can't see is any adjustment scews on the catch (this is with the SLX 6x4.5 back) that I can tweak. Thanks a lot Slobodan - in the bin with that old insert.
