G7 Metal PCB Rails

[cletus monroe]

I haven't been able to find a place to buy the 5x5mm metal rails Jakob
suggests using for mounting the pcb in his parts list for the G7 mic. Can someone please help me with this! I thought I could find them no problem but haven't been able to so far.
Thanks,
Cletus

I couldn`t find a place to get this either so I used some 5mm angle brass.

Thanks Rob!
Did you get them locally or online. I would like to find a place on the net
if you have any suggestions.
take care,
cletus

Cletus,

Are you in the US? Go to McMaster-Carr and search for 'brass bar' or 'steel bar'. They have all sorts of stuff, though it's mostly not metric sized. I imagine 3/16" will be close enough. I got mine at a scrap metal yard - my favorite hangout.

1/4" is 6.35 mm. Works just fine on my boards, doesn't get in the way of any parts/leads.

I got my angle brass from the diy shop, but that won`t be much help to you because I`m in the UK!

Thanks for all the help. Ironically, last night a friend of mine who builds
sets for the Blue Man Group hipped me to McMaster Carr. I can't believe I didn't find this place. It seems to have all the goods.
Thanks again,
cletus
