Experiment with cutting the length of the track by cutting slowly. Remember, you can always remove but never add to it.http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/1236/sdc11042fs.jpgHere is the after pictures:http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/2497/sdc11043c.jpghttp://img232.imageshack.us/img232/7224/sdc11045z.jpgPeriodically, you may need to rub some wd-40 or machine oil on the mast to keep it lubricated and non-binding on its way up/down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
