For those of you looking to replace your worn seat sliders, I believe I have found a very viable option.

I am most likely going with this company for my new adjustable pedestal mount for the Saltare, and came across these sliders. From what I remember, these would be very close in size to the current Supra sliders, and might serve as a great substitute for worn or missing sliders, also with 6" of travel. These are single lock sliders (once side locks) which are like Supras now.

Just thought I'd post it up.

Good find, Haugy (great minds & all that...)

I put two of these (both locking) between the new loveseat captain's chair and storage box base I built for my Salt. Heavy extruded aluminum pieces with a bunch of silicone grease for lube. Seems well made, but it was a bitch getting them lined up parallel during installation since they're relatively low profile & had a hard time accessing the bolts (plus I drilled extra mounting holes for a total of 3 on each top & bottom half since I've got some cantilever with the wide seat and narrow base).

I think a single locking on one side would be fine, but only found locking ones cheap on ebay at the time. I was gonna add a bar to the levers like the 74001, but seems to work fine using both hands for the few times it'll be adjusted.
