8' Aluminum Rails for a tracker table?

Post by Metal Lee »

Does anyone know where I can get 8' rails for the older table, they are 1.5"X1.5" square with a gear track inlayed on the outer bottom edge of the rail.
I got a quote from Tracker a wile ago and they wanted $1500.00 for two 8' pieces of aluminum, OUCH! a little rich for me, anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Metal Lee

I have a pair of 4' Tracker aluminum rails you could splice into your 4' rails to make 8'. Asking $200. Let me know if you are interested.

The Guys at Tracker are great at all they do, I have had no problems with their service/support, if they want $1500 for 8' foot rails then that's the price they set. I just don't have that kind of money to spend. I was recently speaking to a sales rep their and he advised me that trying to change my table to an 8' would not be easly, and I would be better off to sell it and buy a new 8' table at the tune of 19 G's. Time to play the Lottery.....
