Bob -
I'm real glad you were able to identify and fix the problem. Good for you! I was worried about wood in the frame, but I've not encountered it, so I wouldn't be real helpful in identifying and devising a fix.
And I'm grateful that you were willing to post the fix and the photos. This is the kind of thing that comes in real handy for other members who experience the same or a similar problem. That kind of info is one of the major purposes of this forum.
Just a thought ... When you identified the bad piece of wood, did you consider replacing it with a length of rectangular aluminum tube? Perhaps the size of the wood block can't be matched closely enough in aluminum.
Good luck doing the other side. And enjoy your TM travels!
Bill
