OK... had a few peop\le mention it looked like my uprights 
were bent.  So if I could... would a few of you in a position too...
please look at the illustration and take two measurements for me?

Also...I'd like to here comments/solutions on bending these back a bit.
Heat? don't trust a re-bend? slow and steady pressure? bend cold?
...nope....no clue how BOTH uprights ended up this way.  I'll have
to go out and study the surface area/edges, to see if there are any
'strike' marks that could have bent them from being tossed around
in the warehouse, without the axles in place.
