Subject: Re: [motm] 19hp rails - what size bolts

From: Scott Juskiw <scott@...>
Date: 2005-01-13

The bolts that come with MOTM modules are #8-32. These are the bolts
for mounting a module to a 19hp rail. These same bolts are used to
attach MOTM modules to Stooge flat rails. The bolts that are for
attaching regular rack mount gear are #10-32. These bolts would be
used to attach the 19hp rails to the 19" wide rack. That's the
standard for north american made racks.
