Old shower door runner help/advice

[homertimpson]

We have two identical shower cubicles that are original to the house we bought - they are about 16 years old.

Both have had most of the wheels 'repaired' by me over the past 2 years - the plastic wheels split with age and lose their ball bearings accordingly.

I've managed to repair all of them with nuts, bolts and washers to the best of my ability. Scoured numerous spare parts sites and couldnt see anything as basic as my setup

I'll keep bodging until they give up the ghost entirely, or I get lucky

That's a unique looking roller you have there. I'd suggest you first have a look here on Di Vapor and if it's not listed, contact them and they have a team which will try to source the part for you. Worth a shot.

Do you know what model of shower it is by any chance?
