Finally got the bits and the time to install a track on the dome. I had a piece of 65mm X 3mm mild steel flat bar bent to fit inside the dome ring. I got some bearinged U-Groove wheels and hacked up a bracket and have bolted it all in.

I have 3 wheels installed so far and we'll see how that goes but I do need to join the ends of the flatbar somehow. I don't have a welder, so is there any other way to join them so they don't flex apart? I can't put a bolt through as I'm yet to install guide wheels which will run on the back of the track.

Previously it was a pain to rotate the dome, now it's a one finger job. It works !!!!
