[R-390] Cabnet bolts question

[Glenn Little WB4UIV]

If what you are describing is a vertical rack rail in the cabinet 
where the holes would very easily clear a 10-32 rack screw, the 
solution is very easy.

We use them all the time in the TV industry. Go to 
<http://www.markertek.com/SearchProduct.asp?item=CORN&off=5&sort=prod&skuonly=0&search=rack+hardware&pagesize=20>

This is where we get ours from. There are probably more places to get 
them from, and cheaper, but, this is a place that carries most of the 
small stuff that we need. They are called clip on rack nuts.

These cost about $0.50 each and their minimum quantity is 25. You 
might check your local electronic parts distributor or a well stocked 
hardware store.
