I’m including an image of the original back check.  As you can see, the back check head quite large.  New ones (three different types shown) have a totally different physical dimension to the point that it’s beginning to look like it would be faster to simply recover the existing back check heads.

If I were to go that route  ........... and aside from getting the grain of the leather in the right direction  ............    is it critical to get the leather at a consistent tightness to get some reasonable checking effect??  

A procedure involving a clothes pin has been suggested.  Comments??
