Not at all-I'm not casting any blame! I was going to order them from TA
anyway (and right after I did, I got a Sweetwater catalog that vaguely
suggested they have good deals on rails, by the way).

I haven't unwrapped my rails yet to do an accurate measurement. Maybe it
will be only �" which is still a large gap to my mind. But it sure looks
like a huge radius on these things. Looks to my eye like a 0.75" radius.

When I went to look at my normal 19" racks, I see they have similar large
bends, though, so maybe it's not feasible to hold out for a rack rail set
with a tight 0.125" bend. Maybe I'll just have to deal with it

Since I mentioned getting my 21U rails from Tech Am
previously I feel a
little guilty about what you said regarding the 1" gap. This
isn't what I
found though upon inspection. I set both the rails next to
each other as if I
had bolted them together. Then I lined up spare MOTM panels
on adjacent sides
of each rail. I then measured the distance between the two
edges of the
panels which I believe to be about 1/4". Were the rails you
got the Penn Fab
rails? Did you measure the distance between the modules? I
don't see the
radius as being very large at all so I hope you didn't get
different rails.

Sorry if I led you astray!
