[TheForge] Source for flat track sliding door wheels?

[wmullett at bright.net]

My old barn (1890) has hardware like that and it's hard to find.  Trouble is it doesn't stay on the track either.  Why would you do this when the newer box track works so great?  Not super cheap but will be less than what you will have after you run around a lot.

I am building hardware for sliding doors for the shop. The track is 1/4 
x 2 bar on edge. I would prefer to not have to build the wheels/casters 
that run on the flat bar track. Lots of places sell the hardware as a 
unit but will not sell wheels. I have looked at casters for angle iron 
V-track and at wire rope sheaves but neither have the narrow and deep 
profile groove of a flat track wheel that keeps it from jumping the track.

Anyone know of a source for these specialty wheels?

Thanks,
Doug
