I was thinking that DIN was too expensive because then I'd need DIN SSRs,
and then there'd be issues attaching heat sinks and so on, but you're right
- I could just use the DIN rail for termination and nothing else.  In that
case though, a terminal strip could be used instead and would be even
cheaper.  I was wanting to avoid if possible a bunch of screw holes
sticking out the back of the box.

If I introduce a metal plate inside the enclosure to mount everything on
then I lose some of the heat dissipation properties of the enclosure, hence
the reason for looking for something ready-made.

Anyhow, thanks for the link, those are very cheap DIN rails, and coupled
with something like http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/BX663G.html
would be a reasonably cheap solution.  I still have to connect an earth
though, meaning yet another hole :-(.

Biff.
