I think Uncle Ray is in the process of designing some so why don't you have a word with him. It might save you the bother of importing some.

Let's get a cost/benefit comparison. The USA ones look pretty robust but shipping and manf costs seem at the high end of the  scale.
What's Ray reckon the cost/coverage going to be for these beauties...?

Uncle Ray is a much loved member of the site and a dab hand by all accounts with bits of metal

He's the only man I know who is willing to weld up gas pipes while the gas is still in them!

Might it be an idea to start a Group Buy "Who's interested?" for Uncle Ray's rock sliders? Because I'd also be interested in a set.

Got the shipping costs from these guys a few weeks ago. Shipping to UK ports for collection
was as follows for 1 or 2 sets..
Felixstowe $319USD
-Glasgow $369USD
-Liverpool $360USD
-London $319USD
-Manchester $362USD
And the sliders are priced between $1200 & $1500 depending on options.
Would imagine it's hit & miss as to whether you get stung for tax & VAT this end. If you got clobbered for the
whole lot they would be pretty expensive!
