Hi Alan,
If you are going to make a new improved version and your new design hasn't progressed too far yet it might be helpful to incorporate extra hinging for the tracking hinge. That is put two or even three hinges side by side to increase the length of the hinge and therefore reduce the unwanted side to side movement. We have a design base on the "barn door" and the quality of the hinges is an issue. With your skills you could maybe construct a hinge using bearings and far less side play. Just a thought. Hope it goes well.
