[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 488823, member: 7021"] The Railblaza track has mounting holes at 4.7" on center and the HD T track is 5" on center. Not too much difference. Now that you raised that concern.....not sure on the sheet metal screws....they could come loose with the constant "twisting" forces placed on the track. Through bolting would look hideous... with bolt and nut sticking outside of gunnel!!! If I used the Railblaza track I would have to cut/notch out the track in areas where it hits rivets. Rivets are every 5". After additional measurements, the Railblaza track will not work.. It is too wide (1.6") for my gunnel application. The HD T track would work if it can be mounted securely and if the Railblaza accessories (T bolts) would work. I believe I can make the accessories work using the T bolts designed for track. The T track mounting using sheet metal screws is now my main concern. [/QUOTE]
