Thumbscrews???

[peterc]

Any reason why we could not use thumbscrews to hold the modules in, instead of the bolts that come with the Lunchbox?

Something like this:

I suggested them once and Pan60 pointed out that they might be too close to the knobs of some modules. Other than that, go for it. And might I suggest a little captive washer on the back side.

they would be great on a number of modules, but they would prove a pain for some.
as mentioned by Denyle, some unit utilize every minute section of usable space, and they could be a interference with knobs on some units.
i do use the #10's for a lot of my 19'' rack gear and would probably use these for some 500 format gear.
just letting folks know they my not be to cool for every unit.:D
