I'll take a SS set, shipped to 08055. I'll also take one of these 3" guys with a stud on the back. Basically doing the same thing as Yellowstone and putting it on the grill so 1"- ish stud is fine, diameter and location not critical.
Rich, i got mine today and they look great but i need to check to make sure all the parts were there. one of the end caps was off the tube (thanks usps..you need another postage increase.....NOT) and although everything appeared to be inside, can you verify what was in the tube. i got two long and two short tracks with studs and nuts with washer type thing on them and an envelope labled rivets washers ect. all there? thanks al leaving pos. feedback now

Just a quick note, I ended up with a box of rivets with a 1/4" mandrel instead of a 1/4" grip. Not sure who got what on these, but if you did receive the shorter rivets let me know and I will get you the right rivets.

BMTFIERO your tracks are shipped and on the way.
Rich
For the Canadian customers, I was just informed that the only way I can ship these to you is Priority Mail, due to the length. Shipping to Canada is now $28.00 for these.

Hello. Excited to order a set of stainless steel. Can you please PM me with your Paypal address as well as total to ship to 52402 (Cedar Rapids, Iowa)?
So.. Rich.. are we supposed to drill our own holes in the tracks for the rivets? (Not sure if I missed something here since my tracks have no holes..)
Yes as of right now the holes will have to be drilled. I have not figured out the template yet. And the biggest problem is the extremely tight tolerance on the tab slots. They are extremely unforgiving. If I could get my hands on the print for these it would be a different story.
here's an idea that migh work (haven't tried it yet) if you can remove the old tracks in one piece, after checking the make sure the new tracks are the same length of the old tracks...cut a piece of constructin paper or similar to fit inside the old track and secure it (tape maybe) mark the center of the old track and the paper then flip it over and mark the holes. next, remove the paper and punch out the holes or put something sharp through the center... then place the paper template inside the new tracks and center it, mark the holes and drill as needed. if the old tracks are too bad to use i think something similar would work using the holes in the top as a guide and a piece of the thick paper. you might have to make adjustments for any differeences in length of the tracks but it should work....no? al
ps make sure you put the paper template inside the new tracks on the top side so the holes are in the right place and not mirrored.

Forgot to post, I got mine a couple weeks back and they look great. I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to install them so I was holding off posting but will do a follow up when I get the time.
I've had them installed since june, no leakes and I could literally pour buckets of water on themand let it sit on the glass and I won't see one drop inside of my car! Good stuff!
