I picked up a 46" long piece of 3034-lite rail for a good price. I'm going to make a wall mount BXA holder rack with it. The rail is 3" x 3/4".
I ordered a pack of 50 15 series t-nuts and some 5/16-18 screws for it.
The t slots are spaced 1.5", so I drew up some double holders and caps to cover the ends of the rails. I am 3d printing the holders in some metallic titanium colored PLA, and the end caps in black.
I'm thinking, I'll cut the rail into a 30" piece and a 18" piece, to fit the wall space available next to my pegboard, then drill and counter bore them with a set of holes that are centered and 16" apart, to mount to wall studs.
I'm going to bead blast the rail and cerakote it with some old cobalt and burnt bronze mixed together. The same color that's on my quill dro brackets. And mount then on the wall with the shorter piece centered about 6" above the long piece. Just to the right of my pegboard.
The t slots/nuts should allow me to adjust the holders and and position them anywhere I need on the rail.
Thoughts? Anyone used this 3034 lite rail before?
