I had a friend with wood working equipment help build a new pair out of white oak which won't rot. They are not hard to do. I opted for tung oil as a good water proof finish which I renew whenever it starts to look faded. Your old ones make a good template. If you need measurements I would be happy to do some. My total cost was around $100 for wood and a few beer for my friend.

The hole is wrong. It is a "stepped" bore.The through hole is for 6mm bolt (1/4" or slightly more) and the the outer bore is drilled about 1/2 way and is large enough to have a flat washer seat in the hole. I'm not by my Pinz for exact numbers (TDs are different size anyway, but mount the same).

Also, the back of the rail has a groove cutout so the rail will sit flush with the body rather than on top of the shoulder of the rivnuts ( at least on the TDs... been years since I had a gasser :wink: ). You could do a slight counterbore around the holes for the rivnuts.

Dave is correct about the countersunk hole on the outside. The original holes I've dealt with were smaller than the washers I found, so I sized the countersunk holes to fit the washers.

When I've made 'em, I've chosen to countersink the inside too, again as Dave said so as to clear the rivnuts. IMHO, this leaves a more attractive end cut than a dado does.

I used Forstner bits to provide a flat bottom to the holes. But they only self-center on a pilot hole that is smaller than the hole required for the bolt shafts. This required drilling a small pilot hole (1/8", IIRC) through the wood, then making both countersunk holes, then drilling the pilot hole out to the proper size. It was pretty labor intensive. I expect the factory has a couple of custom bits.

The end cuts are more than 45 degree cuts, as shown in the American drawing. I cut 90 degree ends, then held them end-on into the chop box to make the cuts. (But then, I've got 1/2 thumbnail to show for that sort of behavior.)

My favorite material is well-seasoned treated southern yellow pine. I've got a 2x12 that's been sitting in my barn now for about 7 years, just waiting for the day. This old and dry, they'll take paint or stain readily.

By the way, it's easy to translate those American drawings into Canadian ones. 25.4000 mm 'eh equals 1.0 inch.

Well the dimensions etc. seem very well covered so I don't need to measure mine too.

I opted to not countersink the backside as the small gap does help the water drain and the wood stay dry. Mine come right off for cleaning and oiling as needed. Stainless steel washer and screws keep them looking new all the time.

Good luck with the project!

Cheers, Clive
