Not much detail I’m afraid, but here it is having been glued, screwed and sanded – very quick job

Took the flat bar to cut and bend at Ryan’s workshop where we also welded the steel electric gate wheels onto the door hangers. This one of the two stop-ends to stop the door sliding off each end of the track

This is a stay that bolts into the floor to guide the door and prevent it from swinging away from the wall
