Default need mounting rails for an L866 dell

the L866 does not use the older screw=on mounting rails for the second
hard drive, which sits between the floppy drive and the cd/dvd drive.
these are the older GREEEN rails.

it uses a set of black rails which are fixed to the hard drive by spring
tension on a spring-like wire which runs between the two holes in the
rails and has two projections at the ends which enter into the screw holes
on the ide drive.

i tried the rails from the floppy drive, but it is too small.

anyone have a pair of these, or know where to get them?

Default Re: need mounting rails for an L866 dell

page 3-8 of the manual indicates that a spare set of rails are included with
the system and located under the front bezel.

if they have gone missing then you can find them on ebay (one such listing
is found under item number 380052888432).
