Has anyone had to try and order the hardware that the stern sliding doors mount onto ????? Or mabey post a photo of the area so I can see what was done to hold them I would like to put those on my 1975 16 SS. The ones I see on the forum look like plastic?? Thanks. ---------- Pugetsound

GLG Aluminum channel will work but I see a plastic looking slide set up in the photos I Think. Whatever it will have to be raised up in the mid section of the floor as it is about 1 inch plus slope. Has to have a poen channel incas I get water in the boat, to drain. Oh well I guess thats what they pay us the big bucks for our Labor. Hows the fishing up north ? Local boat dealer and his brothr went somewhere near you on a charter and did well.Las leg of there trip was by Helicopter. Must be selling afew boats. Catch me a big King ED

Puget, not sure if you can but check with a local glass shop. If they dont have it in stock they can probably order it. Its called sliding track assembly from CR Lawrence Co. Double track with 1" sides. You can put 1/4" or 3/8" wood/plexiglass in it and you could use wheels, but I wouldn't recommend them. They may slide side to side when the boat is moving unless you lock them. All aluminum, clear anodized or bronze anodized finish. Perfect application for this situation

Fshngho! Right on and thank you. I went to the local glass shop and bought two rails for the slideing doors. Rough fit and adjustments .went well now to finish and install. It will be much nicer and neater without just a piece of vinyl hanging down to cover the batt. and fuel cans. Thank you for the top advise.
