Yep, just like the lower picture! It is indeed steel, I thought it was
aluminum from a quick look.
I'd prefer a set of original outer rails, but something newer or something
I have to modify a little would be fine.
Thanks,

I do have the inner rails/latch system for
tilting the box, they are
plain aluminum.
Like the lower picture:
http://gunkies.org/wiki/BA11-K_mounting_box
there? I'm guessing that's zinc-plated steel.
Alas, I don't know who made those (may have been DEC themselves), or a
source
for them. _But_....
I have some Chassis Trak outers which are almost compatible. (I say
'outers',
but actually many slide sets are 3-part; there's an outer which bolts to
the
rack, an inner which bolts to the mounting box. and then a third piece, a
'middle' I guess we can call them. Sometimes the middle and outer can be
separated, with a safety latch you have to release - but I think I recall
seeing one set where you can't extract the middle mrom the outer - at least
not out the front.)
Anyway, the silver inners do fit into the track in the middles of those CT
units - all except the two wheels at the inside end of the inners! Too bad,
because I have no use for these outers, and would be happy to hand them
over
to you.
The other possibilithy is that I _might_ have a spare set of the silver
outers. I have 2 sets of the outers (2 left, 2 right), 4 of the special
pivot
bolts - but only one set of inners - at least that I can quickly find. Let
me
have a look around, and see if I'm really missing the inners - if so. I
might
be up for trading you a set of outers for something I can use.
