Much better than a stack of washers, and not just for looks!
Your earlier one made me smile with your creativity. Anyway, glad you got it fixed up right.

Much better. Now, get a flint the right size and you'll be in business!

Dang, I read this Ianh ahd had to go back and look at the picture blown up to see any flint!
looking at the geometry that flint should just about strike 2/3rds down the frizzen face.
i would imagine the earlier thread covered how to determine flint length needed so OP if you can't find any handily give a shout. there are about a half dozen guys that hand knap flints for fun and pain.
Oh yes, I remember that mess, it was hard to unsee, much better now.

A longer and thicker flint is needed. Looks like you ran out of travel for the top jaw. Not criticizing just want to help.
