The centre one is M370 + 10% raw umber - leather hard out of mold. The other two are fired at cone 6. Comparing the lengths of these two enables calculating the total shrinkage (drying and firing). I can use that to adjust the parameters in the drawing. The 9/64" holes made at leather hard are big enough for the wire but too snug a fit, they are breaking (as you can see on the right). The pad also needs to be bigger, 8x8 mm will be the next test. The hole being 21mm down from the rim is about right, the mechanism is locking well.
