Yet another Honey-Do: Growling washing machine, Pt 1

[DIYSwede]

Thanks, Frank - I totally buy your suggestion!
There's enough material in the two flanges to provide this, either by a smallish Dremel burr or a more crude soldering iron.
Then finely sand the two faces flat, though my saw provided a really nice initial cut -
the saw has no kerf on the teeth and some blade friction seemed to smooth out the mating surfaces.

I wish you luck, slow is the go word time spent is time saved
