I used standard rack rails running horizontally when I built my cabinet. Standard rack screws will fit through the holes, but the large heads tend to obscure some of the panel graphics. I just looked around for some of the same size (10-32?) with a small head. Found some allen head ones that work nicely and are stainless steel so the little heads help as markers for module boundaries as well. Due to the arc of the rail bend you end up with about 1/8" gap top and bottom but I think they work fine. Pics are here (pre stainless screws, those are standard MOTM screws which are wiggly but bite enough to hold the modules down): http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/motm/files/portable%3F/ Dave Mark wrote: > > > On 5/28/08, Jeff Laity put forth: > >Something that just occurred to me last night: you can use standard > >rack rails for mounting MOTM modules.
