OK, I have questions for BOTH John and Terry:
John, If you use the standard 21U rails they have #10 sized threaded holes
(10/32 I think, right?). Paul has us using # 8 with MOTM now. I see # 10s
will fit through the MOTM holes, but the "design slop" is all but
eliminated. Does this work OK? Have you tried it yet?
Terry, I agree that tinnerman nuts are a great way to go (like the SKB
racks, right?) I have not been able to find good ones for both threads,
only the ones that just catch one thread. Tells us where and what you
found. And, PLEASE tell me where you found those black # 6 nylon washers.
I want them on ALL my MOTM now !

JWBarlow@...I recently got two pair of 21U rack rails as I plan to
move my growing MOTM in to a Moog 35 style cabinet.

On the 1/2" surface I drilled holes where the modules
would go, then placed "tinnerman"(sp?) clips for 6-32
screws. (Saw these on the back panel of a Minimoog).
I purchased a 1 lb.bag of black 6-32 screws at a surplus
store for a buck. Then added black nylon #6 washers so
the screws wouldn't scratch the panels.
