What year, my 78 is 2.5" wide and would like to get the correct liners. When I was at Carlisle last summer and I asked several vendors with no luck. Then the bad weather came in and I left early.

Hi C,
On my 71 there are liners between each leaf EXCEPT between the straight leaf and the next arched leaf.
Regards,
Alan

Hi,
I didn't like how long the liners were for some of the leafs based on the originals.
I bought an extra length and then cut each liner to fit the next shorter leaf.
Regards,
Alan
