Howdy,
Cool! Thanks for the info.
The Homier ones came up at $0.99 each, but it sorta indicated that they
came in a set of three... I ordered 10, just because it was worth a little
bit more if it really was per single or whatever (though I dunno how
they'd get the size?)
Anyway, total was only a bit under $20, so that certainly saves me a ton
of money over the price at the local tool place (which was $10 per rail).
Thanks!
Mark
