Not sure where you live, but Metals Plus in Oshawa might help.

go to your nearest hockey arena and ask if they have any old boards from the rink, they are plastic and great for runners, I did mine and just replaced them after 3 years. just need to cut them your self. CLAM MAKES RUNNERS FOR ALL OF THIER HUTS A but they are $54.00.

I find the clam ones thin and flimsy.....i asked a couple of hockey arenas so far...and most said they only change them in the summer......that is a long way away.

You could try sliders from snowmobile track. I bought used ones from here. Take your Clam with you to get the right width & depth. Bolted with stainless bolts & nuts. Counter sink bolt heads

Try your local arena? Seriously, they sometimes have pieces that had to be replaced...worth a shot.
