Two pieces with threaded standoffs. One end of this piece also contains an angled surface that provides an attachment point to the rack.
Rack mount rail screws, contained in two separate bag in the rack mount rails box. In one bag, you will find the following screws:
short screws (10-32 x .25” Phillips pan-head screws), which assemble the two pieces of each rack mount rail.
