I've been wanting to do this mod for months and finally found the time to install sliding doors for access to the plumbing, etc. behind the basement wall. I used aluminum channel strips made for 1/2" plywood for the upper and lower tracks, a 1x1 aluminum angle as a stiffener for the upper panel and something rigid to fasten the upper tracks to. I fastened the lower tracks to a pine 2x2 screwed to the basement floor. I used 3/8 plywood for the doors instead of the OSB in the original wall since the OSB has more of a tendency to swell around the edges moreso than plywood. I wrapped the doors in the original felt used on the wall panel. With one thickness of the felt stapled to the 3/8" doors, the doors were nice an snug in the tracks, but not so tight that I couldn't slide them easily.
