- Due to the nice, low profile, the sides scrape the power leads. I need to shave them (the leads, that is) down in order for it to clear.

Have you tried not using the power leads at all? I haven’t tried it, but it
would seem that if you cut a ‘normal’ 9volt wire, split the end and strip a
short section of wire -- you could pry up the metal part of a rail enough to
slip the wire underneath. If it works, it would certainly be less obtrusive
than the regular power leads.

What about soldering the leads to the rail? That way they wouldn’t come off.
The heat would be the only concern, though I don’t think it would damage it
alot.
Just an idea.
