Curtain track needed

Glyn · 05-16-2004, 03:01 PM

All, I'm in serious need of 7 feet of 3" wide extruded aluminum track for over the galley of my 1969 Caravel. Dare I describe the track as an inverted U-shape? One side of the U is at a 45 degree angle and is 1" long. The top is 2 1/2" wide with a 1/4" curtain slot at the center of that. The other side is at 90 degrees to the top and is about 3/4" long. This track fits into the vinyl-clad hood that tuns the entire length of the galley and then some for a total length of 7 feet (as well as elsewhere in the trailer over windows, all of which I have). If anyone can help me find this track, I'd be eternally in your debt. In point of fact, I have two, 2 foot lengths now and could live with as little as an additional 3 feet but would prefer it to be all in one 7 foot piece. Thanks in advance for any help, Glyn, 1969 Caravel #508, Santa Monica CA, Email:glynjudson@adelphia.net, Home phone: 310.453.1892.

Did you ever find this curtain track? We own a 1966 Ambassador Twin and also are looking for curtain track. Track for the G-Tabs ideally

Glyn:
Can you post a picture?

Readitago, I did indeed find that odd shaped track for over almost all my curtains. I have extra of that style and a couple of other styles too. Please email me back channel at glynjudson@adelphia.net so we can discuss this further. I think I know the track you need and do have six feet of it fitted in my Caravel now under the curtains in my galley. The trouble is that it's not what I really want and therefore I would be willing to remove it and send it to you. It's gold anodized so I don't know if that's what would work for you. I just scrounged around in the garage and found another 11" of it that I must have chopped off when I first installed the long piece. I could send that short piece to you too. Later, Glyn

Creampuff, Email me back channel at glynjudson@adelphis.net and I can send you images of what track I need or images of what track I have to offer. I couldn't tell from the brevity of your post if you had track to offer or wanted track for your own needs. Glyn

Norm, Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see what comes of my post to the chap parting out his 1968 ambassador to see if he has the one remaining piece of track I need to finish the job. Glyn
