and came needing work done by the builder. It was red in colour, solid
and thus needed holes bored through with a hole saw in a drill press. A band
saw was needed to cut out 'V' wedges top and bottom and finally the factory 
decided
that the block wasn't thick enough, so we had to add in a shim made from
a piece of 1/4" ply board.

Jonathan - no, my block is of the newer sort, black with the hole and the 
notches
already cut out. Anyway, I suspect that the solution to my problem may lie
elsewhere so I dont want to focus on one thing to the detriment of the big 
picture!
