Hmm... - Actually, I didn't mean *instead* of leaving a gap, but as well
as,
- in most of the suggestions so far, the scheme has been: LLLL-LLLL-AA
(where LL=LD11, AA=AD10, and - = spacer). In this arrangement, there are
still two LD11's with adjacent contacting surfaces, (although each LD11
does
have one side clear...) What I was suggesting was something like:
LLAA-LLAA-LL and so on, so no 2 LL's have adjacent surfaces... Or is this
overkill?

Appearence is pretty unimportant, as these will be in the loft, which is
currently used only for storage... (I just postponed the loft conversion
for
another year-or-two, in favour of £5K worth of fitted wardrobes!)

I would actually be happy to buy "raw" naked DIN rail, and screw
that down
to a board, and just snap my module sonto that...
