[QUOTE="Simon Coffin, post: 104825, member: 388"] Re: Extruded rack rails - Available in the US? Hey Jason, Its actually quite easy. Just loosen all the screws by a turn and slide the equipment up or down as needed. If you loosen them too much, the threaded nuts tend to catch in the tracks. If you loosen them just enough to take the pressure off the rail, but not enough to let them twist, the equipment can usually be slid around reasonably easily. If I know I'm going to be installing a piece of equipment later, I'll put however many threaded nuts are required in the track, eyeball the dimension and snug everything up. When the new piece arrives, adjust as necessary. On a related note, rack rash is a thing of the past with the extruded rail. If you want to remove something, just loosen everything slightly, scoot things up and down a bit to make a bit of space and remove the item. No scratches, no dings. Installation is the reverse. Try that with a prethreaded, fixed distance rail. The only way you can do it is to remove all the screws in all of the devices and slide them to make space. Ciao Simon [/QUOTE]
