Looking for options
« on: September 11, 2015, 06:32:04 PM »
I have been looking for the guides to slide the glass along that sit under the metal rails but having difficulty sourcing them especially locally.

Has anyone used anything else here or have suggestions? I am thinking of trying a shower screen manufacturer to see if they have any thing I can manipulate into what I need but open to any ideas here!

These and the backglass are the only parts I am having difficulty obtaining, I am going to attempt a repair on the backglass and looks like I might have to make my own channels for the glass.

Cheers: Brettski... :)

I have found this channeling online and think I might get some and give it a try with a bit of silicone..

It's cheap enough!

Seriously there is no way known I could restore these machines without the Internet and the forums etc. I can't even imagine where I would start and most probably wouldn't to be honest, just too hard but loving every minute of it at the moment and the help I find on here just makes it better!

Well done everyone!

Cheers: Brettski... :)
