Sheerglide R A 500 Runner Replacement?

[R Shipman]

Hi,
I need to replace some of the runners on my parents' kitchen drawers. The kitchen was fitted probably in the late 1980s and is in very good condition otherwise. Does anyone know where I can get a direct replacement for the runners (or boxes) please? Failing that, what would be the best alternative?
Many thanks,
Ronnie

 

Here are the details:

 

On the runner is written:

SHEERGLIDE R A 500
Use BS 570 runner.

 

On the box is written:

RA CONTOUR 80  SOLE MANF LB Plastics Limited.

 

Approx dimensions mm:
Runner:    411 x 23 x 10 mm (L x H x D)
Box:        460 x 445 x 80 mm (W x D x H)

LB are part of Lichfield Group and I don’t think that stuff is made anymore in Belper - they are a contract moulder but doubt they still make that stuff anyway as a lot of it is imported from China. 
 

You can replace with standard drawer boxes these days fairly cheaply - just make sure you buy them with the runners to match.
