Making a Flight Case

I've ssen lots of instructional bits on the net about building a flightcase, make a box cut the top of and mount with extrusions, but has anyone any experience of making rack cases? How do you mount the rails in them, are they just screwed into the inside of the case?

Most commerical manufacturers rivet them but I prefer to use M6 bolts through the side of the case. Get some bolts with low profile heads and they look fine - use a spot of black paint on them if you are using hex board.

Another useful tip is to invest in a lazy tongs riveter. Loads available on ebay from a tenner upwards. These make much lighter work than using a conventional pop rivet gun - believe me after you have set about 100 x 5mm pop rivets you will consider it money well spent!
