Tent mounting Aluminum Rails

Where can I get this material by the foot? I checked Grainger and cant find it.

If you need that specific profile, you're probably out of luck, I'd bet it's a manufacturer-specific part. You're probably best off contacting the manufacturer for service parts.

If you just need a T slotted aluminum extrusion, mcmaster-carr has that sort of thing, as does a local Fastenal. Standard T slot extrusions have lots of uses and add-ons, so they may fit your application.

Building a custom roof top tent? :coffeedrink:

The tracks in that pic are from the bottom of an Eezi-Awn tent. Not sure if you can buy exactly them in bulk but it may be worth an email or call over to Paul at Equipt1. He knows those tents like the back of his hand.

my tent was dropped about a foot from my pulley system and it warped one of my rails on the bottom of my RTT. It is perfectly usable and deflected maybe 1/8" over the 4' length, but I figured I would see what I could find. I have called the vendor I got the tent from to see how much replacement parts are.

Thanks for the help, the mcmaster site has some stuff that I think could work, at $15 for 4' thats not too bad.
