The best way to keep the corners of the bag on the pins when refitting all three LH levers all at the same time (as they usually have to all go on together) is dip the pins in oil (if you keep your key oil in tubs) or add a drop of oil to the pin and then the bit of bag will stick to it (pinch the sides of the piece of bag to open it up).

Then the LH levers can be refitted with pins located in their holes first before dropping the rods in between their allocated pillars. The pointed ends of the bits of bag will help them locate and fit into the holes securely when refitting the LH levers.

I use a 6mm dermal punch to cut the corners with as that leaves curved cut edges to the bag corners - the cut pieces of bag resembling a quarter slice of cake.
