Doepfer

Thanks everyone for all the info!
I think I've decided to go with the Vector rails, 
actually already have some of them & the square nuts here now…

The only problem I'm noticing is that the square nuts 
are not made for the same size screws as the standard Doepfer screws --
they're actually considerably smaller.

(I got the 2-56s listed on the Microfasteners link, not the 4-40s, 
which I don't think would fit in the rails?)

I guess I could just pick up the smaller screws & some washers 
to adapt them to the standard hole size of the Doepfer modules,
but I guess I'm also a little concerned that they wouldn't be sturdy enough,
as I think they would have to be pretty tiny screws.

Anybody had any experiences with using these?

Cheers,
Mark
