If he still has them?

If not you can get sets cheaper on e bay, a lot cheaper. Just don't over bid there is always lots of them listed. Though some that sell them think they are made out of gold.....they aren't.

 

Hey man, thanks a lot for the heads up, sent him a pm, we'll see

Seems prices are getting elevated because of the time of year? Cant get one shipped for under $20 or so, id like to have 2. Amazon has one right now for $26 or so shipped. I'm just done spending needless money this year .

 

Even the elevated ones are $$$ for what they are. Surprised these are so rare right now.

 

:thumbsup: big ed to the rescue, thanks for pointing him in the right dirction, if they didn't go over in Ho I was gonna see if there was any interest over here where they belong. Rich.

 

FWIW, you can roll your own if you have a table saw. It may not look as nice unless you put more work into it, but it'll work just the same. I build one just as a test for grades on a carpet layout.

Any idea what the screw size is for the ties? Thank you!

 

For some reason a quarter of an inch per track section is the rise.

 

Well, 10" track section with a 1/4" rise, that would equate to a grade of 2.5%, probably what they were shooting for.

 

I'd use #4 flathead screws for the track. Length would be dependent on the base, but 1/2 to 3/4 would be in the ballpark unless you have something like foam you have to go through.

 

Thanks!
