bigcitymusic.com sells rails here in the us and analoghaven.com probably does as well. you can get vector rails from mouser as well with sliding nuts.

the rails are not so difficult to get as mentioned actually, I've bought lots of little euro rack parts from different suppliers, and many sources for various items are known. easiest are the sites above.

I recommend the modularworld parts from bigcitymusic as they offer tapped strips to screw the modules in to with standard M3 screws. others may as well, I am just speaking for experience. I'm working with some 104hp rails right now (which mouser sells I'm fairly sure) and adapting some different sections of 84hp tapped strips for module mounting.

it gets complicated unless you buy straight from one of the 2 sites I've listed above. have a chat with either Roger from bigcity or Shawn from analoghaven and either one of them will sort you out with whatever you need.

If you want to built your own frames or need additional accessories you may order directly from ProMa or from an electronic shop (e.g. Conrad, Reichelt, Buerklin in Germany, or Mouser in USA).
