I have yet to find a source myself. The Taxi siderails are different from some of the System 11's and don't seem to be available anywhere. Doug Huse has said he can make them, but after several attempts to order a set, I have not ever heard back from him. I'm talking with a few local metal working shops, but the prices seem a bit high.

I'll report back if I have any success.

Quoted from Richthofen:

once you pull off your old siderails they bend a little

I got mine off without any bending, but they are a bit dented where the back box rests when folded. I really don't want slightly dented side rails on a fully restored machine.

It looks like Space Station, Cyclone, Bonzai Run, Swords of Fury, Taxi, Jokerz, Earthshaker, Black Knight 2000, Police Force, Bad Cats, and Whirlwind all use the same wider side rails. It seems like someone should have remade them and hopefully still have a supply somewhere.

Apparently the System 11 rails came in different lengths so they are not all interchangeable. I'm going to go to a few different local companies and get bids for fabricating Taxi side rails. I'll report back...

Quoted from MikeS:

There's a set of new rails (Doug Huse variety) on Pinside Marketplace

Those were made for Whirlwind (not sure which other games they fit) and are shorter than the ones on Taxi.

Picked up a pair for Taxi as well. Thanks for the heads up.
