Tub runner load slide..erm... whatever they are called

[BYL]

Apologies if I missed the memo on this one.

First off, what is the proper name/what should I be searching for on tinterweb, fleabay, etc. for these steel strips that go on the floor of the tub?

It is not the picture that is sideways, it is the tub. Awaiting refurb.

I'm probably missing something but I can't find reference to them in any of the usual places. Are they also now made from unobtainium?

Thanks.

I struggled to find some at a reasonable price blanchards are showing stock. https://pablanchard.co.uk/Channel-Floor-335832

Beware I ordered from a couple of places that showed stock and took the money and didn’t hurry returning it

I bought mine from britcar about 2 years ago as the originals were rotten.

They differ slightly in that some of the rivet holes are in different places as they are intended to fit the 90/wolf floor - I think about three per strip.

The good thing about them is they are now made out of zinc coated steel rather than the mild steel of old so should last .

One or two of mine are cut down 109" ones, which, of course, are more common as the civilian 88"s didn't have them (except on the tailboard), but their holes are probably not in quite the right place either. Of course, once cut they lack the finished ends at both ends, but, if you put the cut end next to the bulkhead, you can't see the difference.

That’s what I did after struggling to find 88 ones but the supplier only had 1 in stock at a reasonable price

Would the floor strips shown on here be suitable?
