I need to replace the traveler car and track on my 1983 Nacra 5.0 (boomless). Nothing is wrong with the track, other than it is the old "I-beam" style and I can't find a traveler car for it. I've been told by a few people that instead of replacing the old track with a new one that runs essentially the length of the rear beam, I should use a shorter 2-foot track.

Any thoughts?
