I think DebNJim B fix is a better way to go.
Looks like the new one is nylon???
Not sure how long that will last.
You know that looks a lot like a smaller and lighter duty version of a Unistrut trolley. I am using Unistrut and 4 trollies to make a bed lift in our cargo trailer. The Unistrut is industrial strong and often used for heavy duty applications. I bet you could make a really stout setup out of that. It would certainly work if you wanted to build a barn door setup!
