thats where to file just incase theres any doubt, handfile will do it but small angle grinder gets it done quicker...

this is silly bothering me,

i've got a new idea - how about using a mini-angle grider to just take the lip off the safety catch?

Surely it will sit flush when closed as he's not moving the metal catch or owt? He's just 'spring-loading' the rubber bungs so it pops open better when the catch is released...

then your boot wont sit flush...
