Aluminium rails for Traveller rear compartment

Post by SteveandKelly »

Anyone know where I can get the a/m items ? Tried ESM and Bull Motif but no luck. I was wondering if the rails used for carpet-fitting would look OK ? Used velcro to secure the felt/vinyl matting and I don't really want to use the old rails as they would spoil the look.

Try Woolies trim look for half round sections

You should get this also in hardware stores.

Taupe, do you mean Woolworths ? I thought they have gone bust ? I'll pop up to the hardware store & ask them. Thanks for replying.

They have not been available from the specialists for a long time, I done think even Newton Commercial do them and getting the right profile will be a real pain.

The trim part (No 65) (Aluminium strip)that Woolies Trim supply would do the job but you'd need to drill the holes yourself.

Also yacht chandlers will supply keel banding which is remarkably similar to the original strips.
