Fitted my refurbished rock sliders - Uncle Ray's from about ten years ago!
All holes tapped, sills cleaned and sprayed with Dynax rust-proofing (underneath has just been wax oiled). Used new zinc-plated screws and plenty of copper-slip.
When these were blasted there were some quite deep pits underneath where the metal had corroded - better not to leave them so long once the coating starts to flake. They've been done with etch-primer under the new coating so hopefully good for a few years!
