RE: Rails & Cabinets

I'd entertain that solution, too, but are such rails available? I need to
get cabinets made pretty soon so I can start using my modular, so I'm
looking for something that's either available or available soon.

		Sigh, I feel like a broken record but the right answer for
this is to use
		wood for the structural support and a simple flat rail
attached to it for
		mounting modules.  The current rails are fantastic for rack
mounting where
		the slop in the cabinet can be tolerated by the mechanics of
the side rails
		but it becomes harder when you try to mount those rails
where you have
		tighter tolerances.

		I'm not a mechanical engineer but I really like simple
solutions to
		mechanical problems.
