THAT I could just about stomach - not vastly much more than I pad for the
Autoglide stuff, but I expect it will be vastly better quality...

Hmm.. only very limited quantities and parts are still available -
basically
what you can find lurking at the back of B&Q that hasn't sold yet. As I
understand it, Swish discontinued the bay fitting kit a couple of years
ago,
so there is not a rats' chance of getting one now, and as you can't bend
the
Swish track, that makes it t tally useless t  me...
I've never been particularly impressed with them either - you can't reverse
bend them, and the track is not especially smooth or quiet..
