Default Bolt rope track for dodger?

An Aussie's "caravan annex track" is an American's "Trailer molding".

We are truly people of a common heritage separated by a common language.

I'm a sailmaker, and we call it caravan annex track! Over here in
Australia, you can get an extruded PVC version of it, that bends around
compound curves really nicely, and with properly spaced fastenings, is
very strong.

I found it. I need to remember to think lubber rather than nautical. A
sailmaker's bolt rope is an awning maker's Welt. :-)

Anyone know of a source for some "C-track"? I need to decide on what I
am going to use to hold the front edge of the dodger and also the bimini
to the traveler arch. The usuall Lift-the-Dot snaps are not as
waterproof or as strong as a bolt rope track but I have not been able to
find any.


Aluminum suppliers, under Bus and Coach Builders, extrusions.


PS
They call it - Awning Moulds.
