Steve - you assume correctly.
Tom - if you recall, that little "dumbell shaped" reverse trip lever was busted and the source of considerable frustration, as it doesn't have a threaded hole. In fact the hole is smaller than a BP which I think is why they bend and don't break. Having said that, I purchased a spare!
What I don't know is whether the bottom end sits its circlip on the casting or does it sit above? I know you can adjust the lever that sits below it but there is only so much adjustment. Annoyingly, I cannot find the bent one that came out and I think it may have gone in the scrap bin that was weighed in and cashed out!
Ken - it sure does look to be a weak point. I think one made out of a solid chunk of steel will be so much more robust
