Re: [motm] 19hp rails - what size bolts

2005-01-13 by Scott Juskiw

The bolts that come with MOTM modules are #8-32. These are the bolts 
for mounting a module to a 19hp rail. These same bolts are used to 
attach MOTM modules to Stooge flat rails. The bolts that are for 
attaching regular rack mount gear are #10-32. These bolts would be 
used to attach the 19hp rails to the 19" wide rack. That's the 
standard for north american made racks.
