[motm] Panel mounting screws?

[motm] Panel mounting screws?

2000-04-13 by jwbarlow@aol.com

I'm wondering what people with DIY modules are doing about those nice black 
phillips screws for mounting the panels to the mounting rails. Have you guys 
found a source? I don't see them listed in the (old) price guide I have from 
Paul.

I can see the sales pitch now:

"Mount more than 4 MOTM modules with one bag of screws!"

Paul,

Are you sure those aren't the (different sized) standard rack mount size 
(possibly 8-32), as opposed to the "custom" ("try and find these guys") MOTM 
(possibly 6-32 -- I'm too lazy to look these up right now)? I already made 
this mistake once.

BTW, for all you non-US listers, it is TAX time. I believe this is what's 
causing a lot of the "edginess" on the DIY list in the past several days.
