I wonder if the vendor has a template to use to determine the type/size you need?

When I ordered a Tides Marine Strong track (a HDPE extrusion that slides into the mast slot), they sent me a package of “disks” with all sorts of track templates on it, so I could ID the exact size and dimensions of my mast slot so they could send me the right track. Worked great. Every thing fit perfectly,

Every sailor I have known with slides on their sail (myself included) have a few spares or old ones in the bottom of their random parts box. See if you can find some fellow sailors who will lend you one and you can go see if it fits in your track.
