David,

ProMa has a representative in UK. You could order from them directly:

Unimatic Engineers Ltd.
130 Granville Road
GB London NW2 2LN

Phone: 0044 (020) 8922 1000
Fax: 0044 (020) 8922 1066
E-Mail: sales@...

The order numbers can be found in the brochure that is available as pdf file
from ProMa's website. Representatives in other countries can be found on
ProMa's website www.proma-technologie.com > English > ABOUT US > AGENCIES.

Otherwise I could ask in our sales office for the shipping charges
(approximately in the same range as for our keyboards as they are more than
1 m in length too).

And don't forget to order the threaded inserts and self tapping screws if
you need these parts too. Standard hexagon M3 nuts can be used too (much
cheaper) but they will glide within the rails and it may be difficult to
move them at the right positions.

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer
