Subject: Metric considerations - Was: dress end caps for your MOTM ??

Thanks for this heads up Gert. I take it from what you have written that a
M6 diameter is greater than the 10/32 used as the US rack standard screw. I
will be sure to pick up some M6 and make sure this issue is addressed. I
have actually planned to oversize these holes anyway to provide some slop to
allow fitting similar to the 15/1000 slop and oversized mounting holes
provided by Paul on the modules.

IMPORTANT for the people in Europe (like me) :

The holes (outlets) for the mounting screws should be (at least) of 6 mm
width (which is obviously more than the rails Paul did supply have ). This
would allow to use them without modifying the racks. They have metric nuts -
M6.
