    Hi folks, I need to make something like the attached piccy. I was going to use Universal Aluminiums "Direx sliders" but I have just spoken to them and they no longer supply these profiles. I don’t think the Spandex Slatz system will let me do this. Do any of you good people out there know of a system that I could use or make? Getting it from all sides with my customer now as they are getting desperate. I will need 3 of these in total and as a rough guide on size it will be about A/4 size but not critical.

    Cheers
    Mike

    You can buy the components you need from pantograph services

    The backing board and sliders you can make yourself from 1mm PVC and cut or printed vinyl

    Phil, you’re a genius. If you weren’t a bloke I would kiss you! 😳

    I even have 4 of them here so I have mocked one up to show the customer.

    Couldn’t see the forrest for the trees.

    You may want to adapt your design slightly Mike to make it work properly e.g.

    Thanks for that Phil, but I have already sorted what I am going to do. Just got to price it up now. 😀
