Rack Mounting a V240

The rails that I was given with my V240 seem to only be made to work
in Sun made Racks ("Sun Rack 900" and "Sun Fire Expansion Cabinet"
according to the Installation Guide). The rack I'm using is a standard
4 Post rack that all my other hardware has mounted in just fine, but
it seems that the rails I have will not work in it.

I could make the current rails work except my rack has another set of
posts (making for 6) inbetween where I want to screw in these rails,
and this prevents the rails from being screwed in properly on both
sides.

Does anyone know if I can buy rails for the V240 that'll work in a
standard 4 post rack? Any idea if I can modify the rails I have? Has
anyone even run into this problem?

Any help appreciated,

Chris
