Something like this is incredibly specific to the brand and model and was produced specifically for them.

It puts companies like us at an incredible disadvantage to be able to provide suitable repair options to our clients. When the reality of it is, that could have been a pallet of Pozzi guide rail!

Your original dealer would have been key to facilitating that for you. We would be an option for you if you wanted to consider an after-market replacement.
