Lance, if you ever figure out how to get the track clearance at the hinge end please post some photos. On my three movable bridges, I have found I needed to have the ability to fine tune the joint areas due to wood movement and use of the mechanism. I get side to side movement and up and down movement - not a lot - but enough for an audible bump especially in a height difference. I use a combination of shims and flat head wood screws to be able to make adjustments at the joint. I found permanently mounting the track to the removable section and having an overhang so the track joint and base joint do not overlap solved a bunch of issues. Duck unders got old really quick.
