() The Harken HB track takes hex-heads in a slot, which makes them adjustable for spacing. Never noticed the half-inch difference in lengths.
A Harken tech suggested skipping some of the old holes, but they needed to be filled with something. I shamed him into sending me another set of fittings (the track comes with eight).
