Bifold closet door - reusing a (wider) rail from a sliding door

[TheManFromCT]

Hello,

First post here. In my house there are two closet doors I had removed and they were sliding doors (in an 48"opening). I now bought 2 sets of 24" bifold doors and the top pivot bracket is for a rail 5/8"wide, and it is too small for a 1 3/16" opening (the rail that came with the sliding doors) - see picture.



I was going to remove the original 48"rail, but it has a wood trim on the outside, under the door trim and it is painted white, as well as the rail.

Any suggestions? I've been trying to find a suitable top bracket, but all I've seen so far is for a 5/8" wide rail. Any recommendations on online hardware stores will be greatly appreciated (yeah, I've already tried ebay).

Thanks!

You will likely have to remove the wood trim and re do it to work with the new doors.
