If it's the Rev extrusion I would stock up on mounting hardware. They use lp 10/32 nuts I believe which are hard to find. Andymark sells the bolts and nuts. Buy the nuts from them but I would buy the bolts from somewhere else as they are more easily found for cheaper and the Andymark ones strip really easy if you use a drill.

Nuts are used to mount things into the T-slots of the REV extrusion, not to mount to the ends. To mount to the ends of the extrusion, one either taps the center hole for 1/4-20 or uses a #10 bolt through the entire piece of extrusion.
