Slider specs

Anybody have specifications for fabricating their own D1 sliders? Thanks.

Ummm....made from steel?

That's about all that can really be said IMO. There are many different designs, and two main schools of thought, frame mounted and body mounted. I'd say just look at a bunch, talk to people, then decide which school of thought you like and then what you want them to look like.

A few months back I thought I saw a post from someone who had fabricated their own sliders. It even included pics. You might want to search the archieves.

Here is a solution for the D2 that should be the same process for a D1:

This is a good and quick solution if you already have the tools.

Please confirm this for yourself but I think the only difference between sliders for a D1 and a D2 are that the front is an inch shorter on a D1.

This may help a little with your design. I have a set from Steve (RTE), and I have to say they are pretty damn nice....
