Default sliders/steps

thanks mike for the files.

so i took the drawing to my fab shop friend and looked at the drawings and they think they can make em easily, but if they order in the bar stock and flat stock there will be enough to make several pairs of sliders.

i also talked to my powder guy and he can powder in any off the shelf color we like. i am gonna have my sliders powdered silver to match the body on my rig and put skateboard tape on the top surface for grip as you step in and out.

i will talk with the shop owner on monday to discuss final prices for a single set to me, or for several sets.

if anyone wants to snag a set PM me and i will get you info early next week.

joe

Not 100% sure.
But all the after market sites say they are different.

AB has the same part number for the DI and DII BUT the DII part number says...D2.
So maybe?

How about this Joe, after you get them made up you send me a pair and I will see if they fit my DI.

Joe, you might want to send me your number so we can talk. Those drawings show sizes for both the D1 and D2's.
