Thanks!

Sorry - brute force = use pressure to move the plate. There's not a bolt for the pivot point, but a 'pin'. I'll take some pics with the jaw removed and use a level so the 'side to side' difference can be seen

So just try to brute force (pressure) move the plates closer in alignment?

Hi, I bought a post vise and have been working on getting it back in working order. Album of photos of it here: link removed Having to fabricate some parts for it (mounting bracket hardware and spring), then started reassembling it and testing it's function. That's when I noticed the jaws weren't lining up/parallel and I started looking at the 'cheeks' the moving jaw rides on. It looks like they are no longer lining up. I'm wondering if I should cut and knock out the rivets (hopefully they're not forged pegs on the leg), and replace them with bolts so I can align the cheek plates up?
