I found some square aluminum tubing that I think is 1.25" square and used it as new rails. You can either weld or bolt some cross braces to the rails, just make sure your new frame is FLAT (check with winding sticks). I used the same bolts from the original rails to attatch the new ones. The bolts are carriage type so they have a square base that does not allow the bolt to rotate while tightening. If you drill the hole just undersized in your new rails, as you tighten the vertical frame to the horizontal with the carriage bolts the square shape of the bolt base will form the aluminum hole into a square.

You can buy the rails in whatever length from Bailey's. My original mill was purchased as 24", but I bought 36" rails from Bailey's and converted it.
