Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.

But I still need to know if the larger rail with the indentation is supposed to be like that?

Also, considering that the smaller rail in the photo is such a thin metal anyway, does it need to be replaced with the exact piece? I don't see why a thick piece of steel bar from Home Depot would not do the same job, but I would like to get a 2nd opinion before I do that.

Is the thin rail even needed? It does not seem to be doing very much.
