steven, you da man.  my floor looks NOTHING like this.  where you have three
pieces of flooring separated by two tracks/covers, i have one single piece
of flooring with the grey crosshatched vinyl.  where you might have screws
coming up from the bottom of the floor, i simply have boltholes plugged with
VWOA's finest black plastic carriage bolt.

so, this begs the question:  are the tracks and covers and associated
hardware available from our illustrious list vendors or (in)famous private
party parts people?  we are looking for them, obviously.

great pics, i've bookmarked it.  do my eyes deceive me, or does the white
channel fit well over the vinyl thus pinning down the floor along the
channel edges?

thanks very much.
