rob,

Is it not possible to Dremel the holes at the top and bottoms of the
end panels to allow the T-strut to move 1/32 inch (up on the upper
strut, down on the lower one), giving you the alignment that you are
seeking?

All of my experiences with the Vector stuff have been on custom
mounting - Neve Modules, the Wiard.  Many of the Vector parts are
great, but, unless you are trying to mount modules made of vector
components, some modification is necessary.  Using their stuff puts
you a lot closer than you were before, IMHO.
