Gentlemen,
After about a year's absence I've finally found some time to get back into the shop and start getting dusty again. I have been asked to help a friend repair his family dining table and replace the expansion hardware for the top. I would prefer to buy the traditional sliding wooden expanders but can't find a source. Does anyone know of a source that sells these replacement parts? Any help would as always be greatly appreciated.

I'm almost certain Rockler has them. Possibly Woodworkers Source too?

Wow, I certainly appreciate the quick reply. I have looked at Rockler's website and can't find anything there. I'm looking under "dining table expansion" or just "table expansion" with no luck. Am I using the wrong term to search?

I have bought two wooden slides from Rockler and am very pleased with quality.
