Flat rails, anyone?

Flat rails, anyone?

2006-07-19 by Robert van der Kamp

Hi all, 

I'm building a 24U wide, two row cabinet, and I need flat rails to mount the 
modules. After all the drama, I assume it is no longer for sale anywhere?

if you're stuck - what you might be able to do is use an aluminium chassis like i did
if you know of a good pro-audio dealer who deals in large consoles (Neve, SSL & Calrec) you might be able to get some good bits from a console broken for spares. i used neve chassis pieces - they're exactly 11U wide and modules can be bolted to the captive rails
the chassis pieces can either be drilled and bolted direct to the cabinet, or built into a complete aluminium sub chassis
in the case of the Neve materials i used, i then needed M3.5 bolts to connect the modules to the chassis (which i got from Farnell)

cheers

Flat rails are still available for purchase at the 
stoogeindustries.com website (I would assume they still have some in 
stock--the brackets went quick after the announcement and are not 
available on the site).  I ordered some rails for my new cabinet and 
am waiting for the shipment.  I havent heard anything about not 
having them in stock so am assuming the best.

Didn't know the StoogeInc shop was still active, so thanks for that one.
I sent Moe an email asking for shipping costs. Since I'm in the Netherlands, 
the shipping costs may force me to look for alternatives...

You might want to look in the modular synth panels yahoo group -
someone's been gearing up small panel and bracket business there.

There's absolutely no pro-audio dealer in the neighborhood, I'm afraid, but 
I'm getting more and more used to the idea to try and make my own rails. I 
suspect that the shipping costs from StoogeInc to my place (Netherlands) is 
enough to buy the needed tools (drill stand and bits).

Thanks for the suggestion.
Robert

Easily! I've the e-mails between Larry (*sigh*) and me at home but
shipping was quite an issue IIRC. The stuff is heavy. I even evaluated
not to fly them in but have them literally shipped.
I'll check that some time later at home this evening.

I suspect you could fit a whole bunch of them into a $9.50 ($7.50 to 
Canada and Mexico) Global Priority Mail (Airmail) Flat Rate Envelope. 
You can only put up to 4lbs of them at a time in there, but it's still 
less than half the price of "normal" Airmail to Europe, etc. There's a 
list of qualifying destination countries here:

Flat rails are in stock all the time, because they are made by GC Fuller 
themselves (the people that ship the kits).
