[Public-List] track car slides

[Jonathan Budington]

My oak shims rotted away under my genoa tracks.  I replaced them with
aluminum shims.  My local machine shop made them and drilled the holes
for about $200.

I used strips of teak cut to size on a table saw.  Take the track and
the car to the table saw and you can figure out how wide to make them so
they don't rub the car, and how thick to make it so the car doesn't
touch the deck.  I seem to recall the tolerances were just close enough
that I wouldn't try to cut the teak from measurements, I'm pretty sure I
had to shave it a couple times to get it just right without making it
too small.

I don't see why you couldn't do it with Delrin instead, I just happened
to have some teak scraps laying around.
