hello all,
a simple (ish ) solution to this problem - for the existing rails at least -
is buy a set of "hum-free" rack bolts, these are designed to isolate
equipment from a rack - it's an M6 bolt thread with an M5 body covered in
PVC - strip the PVC off and it fits the MOTM rack rails to an M6 caged nut
(alternatively try and track down some M5 caged nuts in Europe - hmmm)

ps - how were people mounting their mini-wave stooge panel combos..?
i ordered a stooge long bracket and hacked it down (rather badly) is this
really the best way..?

cheers
