Y axis aluminium rail dimensions

Hello almighty owners of the mk3,

I did not find any information about the exact dimensions of the aluminium extrusions in the y axis frame. While im waiting for my mk3 i want to build an enclosure with similar rails used in the y axis. I also would like to connect the rails of the y axis to the rails of the enclosure. Therefore i need exact dimensions of the y axis rail profile to tinker on some connectors. Does someone know where Prusa Research purchase their rails ? Or can a mk3 owner measure the rails and post the dimensions ?

Im thankful for any kind of information :-*

I printed a couple of cable clips ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2838186 ), and I was surprised to find that while they fit the front rails perfectly, they didn't fit the back ones. According to the github drawing, they should be the same. Has something changed?
