[chbot] 19" rack rails...

[Chris Hellyar]

Ya, if you're mounting light kit they'd work fine me thinks.
 
If it were anything heavy you'd soon have issues with the load-bearing ability of most timber thin enough to be practical.
 
As it happens I do use them on my router spoilboard for fixtures, they are great for that sort of thing.
 
Cheers, Me.

Part of the hard work solution for wooden DIY mounting rails might be something like these M6 bushes that Charles brought along on his workbench assistant :

Especially if your tool box contains a hammer :-)

A bit of a random question, but figured this was the best place to ask. :)

 I'm on the hunt for some standard 19" rack mounting rails....  The bits
 that go either side of the rack to clip the blind nuts into.

 I want to make a customer rack/stand for some 19" gear by mounting the
 rails to some MDF.

 So...

 Anyone know where you can buy the stuff, or alternately, anyone got some
 old rack components lying around I can magpie? :-)

 FYI: I need 10U high/long bits..

 Cheers, Chris H
