swim platform rubber insert
 

:flag: Where can I find the rubber ribed tread insert for the tubular swim platform, I asked Taco Marine if they made it, and they didnt

thanks

TACO Metals used to make it. I believe their part number was V12-5817BKA50; but, they don't list it any longer. West Marine used to carry it; but, they don't list it anymore either. Surely someone still carries this as I need it too.

Guess I should have bought some when I could.

ya , Im wanting the OEM stuff, mines all there just shrunk up, it fits down in the channel, I thought I saw some chit at Taco's burrito stand but didnt get it HT if you find some keep me in mind

thanks

I wonder if XT-Innovator might either have this or know where to get it.

Good idea, I'll send Dave an email

Dave, said Taco Marine, will see if he comes up with anything else :flag:

After I had mine powder coated, I found a roll of black 3M vinyl antislip on the internet. I think it is 3/4" wide ??

I will check tomorrow in my shop to see if there is a 3M number on the roll.

Looking for some too....

Rubber insert
 

There are two sizes. 1 1/2" four rib and 1 7/8" five rib. I have both, pm me with your size, footage need and email and I will send you a quote.

You can try this it is what i used on mine seemed to work great http://www.safewaytraction.com/Safet...onSlipTape.htm 3500 safe track

Taco was the only source that I knew of that made it.

I just put one of the old style platforms on a 220 Sport and I painted the platform with Black bedliner paint. The rubber inserts had shrunk-up but I ran a bead of black silicone in the channel, then I pushed in about 8" of rubber insert and taped it in place with Duck Tape. Then I streched it across the entire span pushing it in the wet silicone and taped it in place. Even put some sealer at the ends, and it turned out great!

Smitty:

I'm not sure how you put the stick on non-slip. Yours should have had the slot in the top for the rubber insert. Did you just apply over that slot? Did you fill the slot in first to keep water out? Any photos?

Thanks, Mike

XT:

So did you reuse the old rubber inserts by stretching them and holding them in place with the silicone?

HotTub

Yep, I think I took some photos?

Still looking, if I cant find it, Im going to try Daves suggestion, mine just needs to be streached about 4 inches, aaahhh that didnt sound rigt.

I guess this is 4 rib ?

I need some of this rubber stripping. Please let me know where you got yours at if you found any.

It's all gone, no more rubber, it sold quicker than 5 dollar ass in Tijuana

Thanks for that roll-o-rubber, it was perfect, you saved the day

Where your old pieces good?? I need some also....

My old rubber is in good shape just with shrinkage there is 1 to 3 inch gaps at the ends, you can have all my old if you pay shipping, but I'm not changing them out until this winter when I get it powder coated.

Guy's I can get this stuff, 4 rib like the original, its a 100 bucks a foot, naa just kidden

email me if you need some, it takes about 50ft to do a platform, and about 1.00 a foot.
