I have an extruded aluminium box - approx 6x4x2" - which has mouldings on
the side which the correct mounting brackets slide into. And they are
missing. I've seen this same box in various sizes used on several things,
but can't find a supplier. Any guesses?

Diecast != extruded.

Not really - extruded can be made in any length then simply cut as
required. Die cast is the size of the die.

Looks good - wonder if anyone sells their stuff retail? They don't appear
to sell from their site.

Perzackerly != means "not equal", should I have used

Any leads from the CPC link if the brackets listed there are no use,
different manufacturer I think.

In the distant past, when I had a proper job, ISTR aluminium boxes where
the sides were an extrusion to which you screwed a diecast top and
bottom.

Its probaly a 'DIN RAIL Enclosure'

boxes made to standard dimensions into which rails and stuff can be slid.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.

Reading my post back tells me perhaps it wasn't clear. These are external
brackets - designed to panel mount etc the box which slide into mouldings
on the outside sides of the box. Sort of full modular construction rather
than having a mounting flange as part of the extrusion.

The CPC ones have these,
http://www.boxenclosures.com/technic...ngs/B2-080.pdf shows it a
bit more clearly.
