I've found that aluminum rail tends to be much more forgiving. Something
about the steel rail always gave me fitment issues. Perhaps the Phoenix
Contact steel stuff I was using is just slightly over sized. Aluminum
all the way now. Easier to cut and clean. And no, there's no way in hell
I'd every spend $$ on a rail cutter for the one or two a month that I do.

I’m talking about my experience that the clip won’t latch to the DIN
rail unless you pull the tab slightly forward. Not prying with a
little screwdriver to unlatch it, that’s expected.

We just added common parts to the store late last week. Evidently we
need to do a better job of describing some of them.
The end of the din clip on the syncinjector was hidden slightly behind
the syncinjector on purpose. The idea is that a small screwdriver can
be placed in the hole on the bottom of the din clip and the bottom of
the syncinjector can be used as a fulcrum point to enable easy removal
of the clip from the din rail.

No, I think you want this:

The thing you linked to is essentially a tiny piece of plastic DIN
rail for wallmounting stuff that is already DIN rail mountable.
Also note the DIN rail mounting kit for Syncinjectors can be fussy
about snapping onto the rail until you figure out the lever may
need to be pulled forward a bit. Easy if you can get a finger
behind it, if you have it in close quarters you might need to
improvise a tool to hook it.

is this the proper product to DIN rail mount my sync injector?

Wow, I totally botched that earlier. The Brother printer FAQ
is likely not going to help with a Packetflux rack mount. Too
many windows open!

Buy a small CNC milling machine. Get BUD or Hammond

Only way to keep the cost out.

SyncInjector?
The units are designed to fit on a standard 1u shelf.
Zip ties. Velcro. Bolts into the wall mount keyholes
etc.
On a related note, if anyone knows a enclosure
manufacturer I can buy custom 1u enclosures from in
reasonable quantities (hundred or hundreds) without
paying an arm and three legs please let me know.
We've been having a hard time finding a vendor... I
lost track of how many vendors we've unsuccessfully
tried to get those from.

Is there any rackmount kits out there for the
packet flux sync injectors? Just looked over their
website and only seen a DIN rail option? Is anyone
making something possibly 3rd party for this?
