ABSTRACT:
A rail for mounting sheet metal turning vanes includes a sheet and integral vane guides extending generally perpendicular away from the plane of the sheet. Each vane guide is a plate slit from the sheet except for one edge along which the plate is bent. The plate is adapted for positioning adjacent to a wall of the vane. An access aperture, partially located in the sheet and partially located in the plate, is adapted to allow access to a portion of the vane wall for contact by a striking tool. A blow from the tool splits the sheet metal vane wall to form tabs which are folded through the aperture, which securely attach the wall to the rail.
