I posted this as a reply in the wanted section and got zero replies. I thought I'd get at least a couple inquiries, but nada. I'll put it up here just to confirm there is no interest, or for better exposure.
I've installed the new plastic chrome stuff. It lasted about six months before it started delaminating and discoloring. I have found a guy who will make new drip rail out of stainless steel. He gave me a ballpark of $50/ 8' stick. When I talked to him last week, he was checking to see what finishes were available, in other words, how brushed or polished it would be from the start. That answer may change the cost if a finer finish is dramatically higher in material cost.
Here is the rub. I'd have to pay for the entire sheet of which he could get 40 sticks out of. While I'd like to have SS rails, they aren't worth that much to me. While I would guess that many reading this will say, 'sign me up' , experience says once I have them and start asking for $, it'll be like cockroaches when you turn the lights on. Here is my idea, I'll make it a three stick minimum, make a $125 deposit, with the balance due before shipping, plus the ride. I'll pack them in pvc for protection. You'd be welcome to pick them up here in Richmond if you'd like. Any takers?
