Re: [motm] Rack Rails

Actually, you can just mount your MOTMs to standard rack rails using # 10
screws.  The holes are plenty big.  The problem with regular rack rails is
the bend radius and extra space left at the edges.  They are designed to
have some space leftover between the inside of the cabinet and your 19" rack
device.  The same happens with MOTM.  Except, I think most people want their
modules to butt up pretty darn close to their wood.  So anyone particular
enough to build a lovely wood cabinet won't be happy with the result.

 I'd thought about using a standard rack rail as a
guide, though you'd need to put some spacer in
the hole to make up the size difference between
the larger standard rack screw and the smaller
MOTM rack screw size.
