hello all,
from what i remember the 8-32 bolts are almost impossible to get in the UK,
if you need a lot, maybe you could try Stooge Larry - i think he has to buy
them in bulk for the flat rails he sells (cue: Larry ?) all MOTM modules
come with 4 x 8-32 screws, second hand - some people just forget
if you're really stuck i could probably spare a few - what do you need..?
in Eurospeak, the best bolts for attaching the 19A rails to a rack cabinet
are M5 as the usual standard M6 are just too thick for most rails (don't
forget you'll need M5 caged nuts as well unless you're plugging into an SKB
rack)
