Hi there are many Schroff rails rails that will work.

Have fun with this URL:

Look for rails that are 84HP long. Look at the profiles on the 
rails. Two mounting bolts per end is better than one! (but not 
necessary)
Here's a part number, for example: 34560-584 
"Guide rail, type H-ST robust, standard"

Spend a little time looking at all of these rails. Note the 
differences. 

In addition to the rail, you need the threaded inserts, part number
34561-384 or 34561-484 depending on what size screws you want to use 
to mount your modules (3mm screws are often shipped with new 
modules.) You need a pair of these for each 3U in your rack (upper 
and lower). If you don't get these, you will have to slide nuts into 
the rails to mount your modules.

There is a distributor in CA called ICO Rally.
