Re: Fwd: [motm] What is the thread size of the MOTM module mounting screws, please?

2008-09-18 by David Moylan

I've also just used stainless allen head screws (mainly because I was 
using standard rack rails mounted horizontally and needed 10-32 with a 
small head) but even having the chrome-ish dots at the edges really 
helps demarcate the the different modules.
