Walter -

This seems like an important comment you've made here, so I'd appreciate a little more detail.  Is the compression side the back side on the top and the front side on the bottom?  And I'll have to get back home and look at my mounts to see what this line is you're talking about.  What about the rectangular block in the middle?  Does it care which way it goes?

Thanks.
