[Collins] Collins Rackmounts

[Stu Martin]

Rear screws are about the right length. Front "riser screws too long, but
check for clearance under and through the radio. Also, there are two upper
screws used to secure the style ring to the chassis. The original are chrome
counter-sunk screws that fit through the ring and mate with two floating
nuts. Replace those with standard head screws as the "rack's" upper mounting
plate is not sunk. It's a thin strip of aluminum. (Note: There MUST be an
upper support strip behind of the top horizontal section of all racks.)

Try and locate the original instruction sheet which covers the 351R-1/351R-2
