Hey Chuck, I've got a question and a suggestion for your modified APC PRM4.

After you put the DIN rail clip on, do you paint them? Just FYI, I have to scrape the paint off to get them to fit on aluminum or steel 35mm rail. So if you're painting them, I'd say don't.

And Ken turned me on to these: https://www.winford.com/products/dinm15.php
The DINM13 clip would probably be the best fit. These are really nice because there's no release. Just push the device up, tilt a bit and you can pull it off of the rail. Most of the places I'm putting these are in outdoor enclosures. You know how we cram 20 lbs of shit in a 10 lb box. I forgot to get pics of the last one I did. Turned out really nice, but it's a PITA to get a screwdriver in there to pull the release tab. Not that they really need to ever come out, but I ran into a location problem and had to slide them on the rail. That's impossible without releasing them from the rail. The plastic clips would allow that without issue. That's one of the reasons I went to aluminum rail, things slide much easier.

I could buy some PRM4's and these clips and put them together myself. But that's time and patience that I don't really have. So I'd gladly keep paying a bit more for yours if it saves me that time.

Just wanted to throw this out there as constructive criticism.
