Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a supplier where I can purchase a new rubrail for the 13-ft Sport I am working on. I have sent an e-mail to Sue Lodel at Twin Cities but she hasn't replied (yet). She's probably on holidays because she usually replies within a couple of days. I just need to be sure I can still purchase one before I remove the old one and totally destroy it.
Thanks for your help guys.

Erik,
I`m sure you can. I`ll call them tomorrow (Monday) and let you know. There might be a big time difference calling from Belgium.

Erik,
Sue should have them in stock. Last time I talked to her she has several varieties,
White track - White Rub Rail
White Track - Black Rub Rail
I believe she also had the 3 part rub rail as well as the 2 part. I have better luck calling Sue, usually because she just gets so busy, especially during the summer. I was searching for a price list, that I know got posed about 6 months ago, but I can't find it. I think the 2 part tracks we $100US, the 3 part was more expensive.

Thanks Rich and Kamie for your replies.
Well, I removed the rubrail this afternoon. It is a total loss now so I'm hoping she still can get hold of the original. If not I'll just have to buy something that looks like it locally. This one is a 3-piece rubrail with black rubber inlay. I believe I once read some place that it costs around 100$ so Kamie, the price you think it would cost is probably correct.
Thanks Rich for the generous offer to call Sue. If you do could you ask if she still has one left? Thanks a million!

I just got the info from Sue Lodel. She sent me an incredibly detailed e-mail containing all the info I need. She sure does her job well. The price was exactly what we expected and the rubrail is available in different color combinations. It looks like Sue is very busy at the moment. Thanks to her for taking so much time to write me such a detailed e-mail including pictures et all.
Erik
