I know the Eppersons also purchased 8020 from a supplier in San Jose. I would really appreciate if you can found out who the supplier is for me.

Also, forgot to ask this in the original post, but I am hopping someone can clarify the compatibility between the two brands. Specifically, if I have Bosch extrusions now, can I use 8020 hardware/t-nuts on the Bosch extrusions? Other about vice-versa?

The profiles and t-nut dimensions suggest they should be fine either way.
