Guide Rail Connectors

[Tom W]

I have two guide rails without connector part #482107.  The best price I found for connectors was $17 for just one(takes two). The part looks like it is made of pot metal not silver. Has anyone made their own connectors out of bar stock and what spec or dimensions were used?
