Doepfer

hello nicholas,

why you want to do this?
you want to get lighter?
i cutted the rails in single nuts.
they can slide inside the front rail.

cheers

I am planning to remove the tapped rails in my Doepfer suitcase and 
replace them with slide nuts. I looked at the Proma Systro page and it 
looks like ones that will fit are DIN 562 M3. Is this correct? Also, if 
anyone knows of US distributors for these parts, please let me know. 
Mdmetric.com is one that I found.

I have some asys modules that are taking up extra room and I want all 
the modules flush. Cutting the rails is one option, but I wanted to be 
able to return to original condition if needed.

even then I'd recommend to by a spare rail and to cut it. It is 
extremely annoying to mount a module on a rack with single slide nuts in 
the rails. Only a slight push to the housing or wrong kick with the 
screw and the nut is gone behind the frontplate and you have to remove 
the complete module again.
