Problem Solved
I used a plastic hammer with a brass plate between the stripped side plate and anvil. After finding the two high spots they were lightly hammered back until the plate fit nicely. Next problem is a broken firing pin bushing. I am going to try to save the firing pin bushing. I have been heating and applying penetrating oil for a few days and will take it to the drill press next. Russ R had said years ago that the bushing could be super glued back together and avoid the time and effort to fit a new one. Has anyone used this idea successfully in the past.
