Sorry, my ASCII modeling sucks, but imagine that the inside part of that underhanging shape (the "L" shape) was where the contact points were located (and imagine that the shape is symmetrical horizontally). You'd have to stick your hand inside the "L" to touch contacts.
don't ever say that your ASCII modeling is bad!!!
I actually knew exactly what you meant... and that's kind of what I was thinking...
either way... I don't think you'd be able to see it on the final render, but it's interesting to figure out a solution none the less!
