Wing/Henshaws - Bolt Rope Track

I was looking to see if anyone knows where to get it

This is what they listed on their proposal to me:
"E1600090 BOLT ROPE TRACK,HORIZONTAL 34757; 6061T6"

Is this a proprietary aluminum extrusion they get made?

Or can I find it from another supplier? (and most likely at a lower cost)

To clarify further, it's the aluminum channel that the tube slides onto.

If it's something standard, I'd like to source it locally, instead of having to ship it from Wing.

My guess is that it would be a custom extrusion. You may find an aluminium extrusion company has something similar - The G James (Australian) catalogue has a few extrusions called rope rails so you might find something similar nearer to you.

Thanks - they do have quite the comprehensive catalogue.

I have the specs from Wing now - it might just be easier to get it from them as (1) I haven't found anything exactly the same size as their specs and (2) even if I did, it wouldn't be local and I'd be paying shipping anyways
