Re: [motm] Rails for europe

2004-07-29 by Sikorsky

hello there,
i've had difficulty with MOTM rails in M6 based racks (the screw is 6mm in
diameter) - i've found most racks in europe are M6 apart from SKB style
cases and the studiospares stackrack

there are two solutions

1 - if you quiklok rack takes caged nuts, then get hold of some M5 caged
nuts & M5 bolts

2 - get hold of a set of 'humfree' M6 bolts - these have a plastic sleeve
designed to isolate the rack unit from the rack - strip the plastic sleeving
off and the bare section will fit onto the MOTM rails...

cheers
