You will not find skid strips which are the same as original. But, there are strips which are similar if you are not wanting to restore to original.
Sorry, but I can't find the name of the vendor which I knew of (about 5 years ago). Maybe someone can help.

Melvin,
Send me an e-mail at wilsmor@juno.com and I will send you an MS Word document with details on the skid strips.
I have been trying to get the strips made for several years. But, each time I get a lead on someone who says they can make them, it does not work out.
The skid strips for the 88-A platform (1927 - Feb. 1931) has the same cross section as the 89-A express. There is a difference in length and hole locations.
