It's centre is only very soft grade of alloy and the pointed locking pin just tears it out and the thing rotates with ease when locked, not good, it's in pieces at the moment and I may head up to the shed and turn a new rotating centre out of steel that won't have the locking pin tear through it. If I score identical spaced marks down it I can have recesses for the pin to lock and not move.

You've pretty much already done what I was going to suggest. Are you on a good solid bit of ground? I've been caught out once or twice setting up in remote areas to find that the mount and tripod have slowly dug in / sunk in soft ground, which doesn't help.
