Hatch Slide Replacement Alternative

Repalcement of hatch slides done easily without removing the traveler assembly or hatch housing.
Using the material purchased from IP, I cut the original slides as shown in the photo. This diagonal cut was made possible using the sonic cutter and blade shown to reach in the small access. The cut was made on a diagonal so that the new section of material (cut with the opposite diagonal) would dove-tail under the old material.
The hatch never slides over this section of material so the fit is not a real critical.
