I think it is time to replace my racks, I have searched and can not seem to find
a supplier, I would like one piece 20 pitch 1/2" wide racks for my circa 2000 prt. Anyone?

Thanks

Hi Jerry,
Check this site, you could prob build a rocket ship just using parts from their catalog. http://www.mcmaster.com/
I saw 6' rack there the other day. They also sell the pinion gears as well

[fozzyber]

Yes I got pinions from them but they only have 6' , I'm looking for 9~10ft sections if possible

[danhamm]

Jerry, you put a 6ft. and a 4ft together to make 10 ft. for spacing just use a section of track.

Try http://www.applied.com. It has been awhile, but I think I remember them quoting me a great price on a 10' or 12' rack.

Ok.. great topic since I have the same decade model. How do you know it's time to change the racks?

moore was
Two 12’ lengths plus one 6’ length is $335.63/total delivered.
not the cheapest but I don't have to cut and adjust.
