Hi Sean,

Its entirely possible to buy the parts you need here in the uk, but you need to be carefull with part numbers and the like.

Farnell will sell all that you need, made by schroff (spelling ) rather than proma. Rittal will also deal direct (i think their main office is in southhampton)

...but, again, you need to know exactly what youre after, as there are so many variants. Simply asking for subrack mounting rails will get you, well, nowhere.

I dont have any part numbers to hand, but you basically want 2/4 etc off 84hp front rails "with lip" and 2/4 etc off m3 threadded inserts (assuming youre using these for a wooden case or the like)

When you start getting into rear rails, end pannels and the like, it gets worse.

Be warned, these parts are not cheap (believe it or not, i dont belive there's a huge markup on the cases doepfer sells)

Indeed, i think schroff's website has a fairly accessible section with technical drawings. Spend some time there, and youll have a better idea of whats going on.

Julian

It seems ProMa don't offer mounting rails via their website any more.
Anybody have any ideas about sourcing mounting rails in the UK Is
there a specific or correct technical name for these items That would
be a good start - I'm finding it tricky stuff to even search for right
now.

thanks
sean
