I found a few brand new spreaders with the old ummm 'buckle' system if that is the word, at the local tip shop. They look easy enough to convert to a slider system so I am happy and will use them (especially as I seem to break spreaders pretty often.......but then I thought that if you needed one like this for an old harness, you'd never find it......
So before I modify them all, does anyone have a burning need for one of these...?
^^ sounds like you are expecting something smart or interesting
You will be disappointed lol

Corrosion at the welds
^^^ roger. I find they almost always go at the hook welds.
Well, that, but mainly hooked in half-forward loops. They really bugger them up. 
anyway I think I had a brain fart, they will be easy to convert to modern use in a non-sliding setup, but slider will require some cut n bend or weld. Hmmm.
