Where to buy load bed metal strips?

Rattlegun · Nov 15, 2013

I'm thinking of doing this on my Series rebuild, in a more rustic fashion. Any ideas on where I might search for the metal joining strips they're using, I can't think what to call them? They're just a flat strip with a small u shape at each side to hold the wood down.

they look a bit like threshold strips

I'd take that picture in to my nearest aluminium stockholder and just point

Thanks Trax, I've found some thresholds that would do it functionally but am still looking for something like those as they act like skids too.

Just google for T section or H section aluminium. I reckon you will find something that will suit.

they look like the std strips try 330615 or rrc3945

Thanks James, I'm having a look at them now, not found a real life pic of them yet though.

I have found these though, and could get them galvanised too, which would suit really well:

They've got loads of interesting stuff too.
