Sliding door trucks

I know someone has replaced these on a 342.  Which size is correct for the companionway door on the 342?

    All I had was a white nylon piece. Never saw any wheels

    Mine just has nylon pieces too. I’d be afraid of rollers..door slamming open/shut. Probably on my fingers too. lol

    Hmmmm, guess I'll have to take a closer look.

    Yes it’s really annoying when anchored and rolling waves.

    I have a 2004 Rinker 342 fiesta V and I’m also looking for the white nylon sliding guides for the top and bottom of the salon door.  Also looking for the metal railing to replace that the slide fits into.  Does anyone know if a source for these parts?

    There are 4 sizes on this page at Boat Outfitters.

    Thanks @Formulaben.   My nylon guide was different from those on boat outfitters.  I purchased a block of UHMW from McMaster.com, and machined my own.  Took about 1.5 hrs, but only cost me $20 for material.
