I bought a trekwood version and either I ordered wrong or it is noticeably less quality as the original which wouldn't hold up to heavier use.
I resorted back to the original and modified it per a piece I read on here sometime last year.
The modification is solid and works like a dream.
Go but a tappered machine bolt I believe it was 5/16 x 18 x 2 or 1 3/4 inches long.
2 5/16 flat washers
5/16 nylon lock nut
5/16 jam nut. ( Jam nut is slimmer than a nut and perfectly slides into bathroom door bracket slot)
Remove old shaft and use the trolley base in your picture.
Clean threads in trolley up with tap
Insert tappered machine bolt from top of trolley down into hole and tighten. Reverse of the original way they did it.
Thread the lock nut on opposite way, add washer, another washer then the jam nut .
Leave plenty of room to slide the jam nut into mounting bracket on top of door.
Tighten lock nut and jam nut together.
The old way left the top always working the bolt out of the threads. This ways seems to alleviate that issue and my door has been smooth and functioning flawlessly. Just had my kids join me for a week (4 adults) nobody had any door issues.
Hopefully you can make out my picture.
