Here's a link.

EDIT: Never mind, you already have a link. I got distracted by work.

What measurements did you cut the platform on the Spriingfield pedestal to fit the dicor?

Rossue, what size did you cut it down to? did you take the plate off the pedestal to do it?

Sorry, the camper is in storage. I will try to get measurements this weekend. I removed the top plate on the Springfield pedestal and cut it to the dimension to fit the Dicor, cutting the same amount on two sides. The top plate is aluminum and I used a skill saw.

Just measure between the rails of the Dicor, and you will have your answer.

Original plate is 12 X 12". Cut it down to 8 X 12" by taking off 2" from each side front to rear. I did it with the plate on the pedestal as it is aluminum it cuts easily. I Would mark where you want mounting holes and then remove the slide first so you don't get shavings in the slide area.

"don't get shavings in the slide area" is some of the best advice on the entire thread! I did, it was not good - and I worked very hard to get them out of the track and off the rollers!

Called Dicor yesterday to find out why that slide isn't listed on their web site anymore. Was told that they don't carry it anymore. Now I sure wish I had ordered it at the beginning of the year!
Does anyone know if there is another company that sells this slide? Or something comparable? Or who actually makes it, so I can find another way to get one?
Countdown to April 19th, orientation day. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't find another source - maybe someone else will have better luck.

I wonder if Dicor would order a set if a group buy was created?

It still amazes me that they said that poor sales was the reason for stopping carrying it. It took me a week of constant calling before I was able to reach the salesman to place an order. If they didn't want to hassle with orders, they should set them up on Amazon and let them handle the sales. Everyone that has seen my Dicor slide wanted one - how can that be bad for sales?

Dicor relies on sales to manufactures and dealerships for the most part, and are not well set up to sell directly to the public. I doubt they bothered marketing them that well to dealers. When I bought my slider a couple years back, they knew nothing about the product. I agree that something like selling through Amazon would be a good idea for them.

I'm going to try the: Springfield Marine Co Universal Trac-Lok Ii and the Garelick/Eez-In 75080:01 Low-Profile Seat Slide both available from Amazon to use as a slide. Will see what works the best when i receive them. They are low profile slides for boat seats with locks. Wish me luck.

Wasted lots of time trying to find the Dicor...... a very strange company.

I still have the box that the slider came in. The company that Dicor purchased these from is STLA, website: ST.LA. - ALL THE SOLUTIONS AND COMPONENTS FOR THE CARAVAN INDUSTRY

I see they have a number of similar looking slides in their catalog:
http://www.stla.it/catalogo-2015.pdf

I am skeptical the manufacturer will sell directly to consumers, but I'd still give it a try if I were looking for one of these slides. Maybe they can give you the name of another seller they work with that can special order them.

Maybe someone can convince ETI to buy a bunch of these and have them as a standard option.. that's probably an even longer shot.

Good job! Sent them an email to see if there is any way to purchase for retail in N. America. Ciao!

I received both products. Both are very heavy duty aluminum. Made for sliding a boat seat forwards and back. I've decided to go with the Garelick $93 and return the Springfield $73. I liked the action on the Garelick and the lock down better than the Springfield which has a spring loaded lever and notches for adjustment. I will get 5" of movement in one direction. The Springfield pedestal does rotate so this combo should give me a lot of flexibility.
Currently awaiting the pedestal to begin the modifications. I'm going from a standard table to a u shape lounge with a reduced sized table. Wish me luck. Prior owners were great folks to deal with and they provided us with 4 yards of matching fabric so we can fabricate the matching cushions and extra pillows.
