Abstract
A method of forming a rail having an elongate base member and a load bearing insert is disclosed. The method includes forming a base member having surfaces with at least one longitudinal groove and inserting the load bearing insert into the longitudinal groove. Inserting of the load bearing insert may be performed by flexing the load bearing insert to fit into the longitudinal groove. The surfaces of the base member adjacent the longitudinal groove may be subsequently crimped to secure the load bearing insert.
