XE needs HD mounting rails

If anyone has built an NG Amiga using a CoolerMaster case, I'm in need of the plastic rails they include with their cases for slide mounting a hard drive. I can't find the extras which came with my case, and they are out of stock at CoolerMaster. This is to use nbache's suggestion of using an old IDE drive for booting my XE.

Preferably someone in the US to keep shipping costs down.

Thanks.

Paul

@Paul

What do these rails look like?

I have a decommissioned CoolerMaster case with some some brackets to hold the drives, but they're not really rails, they have a pair of rods that act like drive mounting screw and are pushed into the drive from outside the drive cage, with a twist "T" lock in between to secure it to the cage.

Otherwise, if you can get the exact dimensions maybe I could 3D print them.

@AlexC

AlexC,

What you describe sounds different from mine. But SinanSam460 posted to my thread on Amigans.net

HERE where a 3D file is listed.

Thanks.

Paul

@Paul

I see now. They're completely different, looks like your rails slid from inside the cage.

I downloaded the STL files mentionned on that thread, I should be able to print them, I'll give it a try and let you know how it turned out.
