I am not sure. It should. Is it crumbly??
It would need to be sliced into usable pieces with a wet saw. Is this for sale?
Thanks!

Cutting - Best method I’ve found, with significantly LESS waste than a diamond tile saw … but heed the CAUTIONS!

Size/Shape - Usually rectangular, sized thin enough to ensure the pyrite centers in the middle of the pan (fore to aft).
Some grind a cutting angle on the otherwise square edge that bears on the wheel, like a positive rake to a lathe cutting tool, but I’ve never found that necessary, at least as tested on 5 wheellocks, 2 being originals.
Crumblies - Read here, they not only work, they can work really WELL!

Where are you all even buying wheel locks to go shooting with?
