I am trying to find a slide-car that fits on 3/4-inch T-track. My main-sheet traveler incorporates a 3/4-inch slide car with an
eye to which the main-sheet control blocks are attached. The eye in the slide-car has become tenuously thin with use and I need to find a replacement. As some of you may be aware finding a car that fits on 3/4-inch T-track has become rather difficult and I have had no luck in doing so.
I am hoping that perhaps someone on this list has an old slide-car that they have replaced and will fit the 3/4-inch T-track. If so and you no longer have a use for it please let me know what you would like for it.
Thanks in advance ...

Re: Slide-car for 3/4-inch T-track
Schaefer still makes a few 3/4-inch items. If this is the one you are looking for, it's model 72-46.

Smooth sailing,

I couldn't find it on Defender's web site, but you can order it directly from Schaefer. Here's a link to all the 3/4" items: Smooth sailing,

Look in the Defender online - there are two or three Barton Track slides with captive plunger for $39 - $42 each. The Schaefer is also available but over $100
