I got a pair of rails from Musician's Friend and experienced about the same
results as JWB. Like Ken, I was hoping they would allow the modules to be
flush (like the nice ones that Paul makes). However, they did not, so I am
not certain I am going to use them for that purpose. I still have room for
12 more 2-space wide MOTM modules in my rack even after I get my two 320s
before I have to move to a case, so I have a while before I have to cross
that bridge.
