Fly truck slot guides? - Top Down - 5th-Jan-24

Anyone got a UK source for Fly Truck slot guides (with springs) please? Pendles are sold out and a Google search hasn't turned up anything, nor has eBay.

Is there a suitable drop-in alternative at all?

One of three used Fly trucks I bought had a Scalextric guide fitted. Unsprung and the post is too short and too tight a fit to work anyway

I replaced the guides in my trucks with ScaleAuto guides and brass inserts made by Dennis Samson. You can contact Dennis through Electric Dreams in Los Angeles or if you have FaceBook.

Ah, thanks. I think I have a couple of those guides - but 'brass inserts'? Not heard of that but might have seen something similar as 3D printed pieces. Do these bring the slot guide area up to the same level as the rest of the floor pan?

Here's some pics from one of my trucks, the brass insert is glued in place in the chassis.

Not what I was expecting but thanks for photos of the brass insert - and the rest of the chassis too

I make my own from 4mm 'thin wall' brass tube which has an ID of 3.6mm
