Hi Ed,
The Friction Lid is what I was talking about, and
the URL was right on.
Correct again! The I-Beams are on the outside of the slide, Soleplate is a better word. I installed them to make it easier to see when the score-lines are parallel to the plate.

Colin,
I THINK I know what you are talking about. I
searched for
drop door/drawer fixture/hinge/bracket, etc. and couldn't find
anything.
Does it look like this "Friction Lid Support"? http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1340649&cp=1254881.1255030.1259871&parentPage=family
I'm
also curious how the I-beams can interfere with a club's hosel? I'm assuming the
I-beams are on the outside edges (sides) of the "slide" and the club is centered
down the length of the TruMeasure.
Thx,
/Ed
