Anyone know what these extrusions are called?

Post by Benn Roe »

I need to build a little panel to match the one in the photos, which seems easy enough to do, but I'm not sure what type of aluminum extrusions these are. Anyone have any leads for me?

Sorry! I might be using the wrong terminology. I meant the rail-looking parts along the perimeter of the piece. I appreciate the help, though!

the long parts are some kind of extruded aluminum channel, but i can't dig up anything that looks quite like that. the deep V shape at the bottom of the channel is unusual.

Yeah, I haven't had any luck yet, either. When I bought this case, it was missing one of these panels, and I'd really like to fill it in, so unfortunately it does need to match the existing hardware. Again, I appreciate the help.

you'd have to measure the slot size etc. to find the exact right part, but you're looking for tongue + groove extrusions with unequal legs
