[Elecraft] K3 : Rack Mount Option?

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I believe if one removes the feet from the right side of the K3S and the 
handle from the left side, all will work just fine.   No modifications 
or panels needed.

Mine are sitting side-by-side and with feet and handle in place on my 
K3S, P3 is to the left of the radio, overall width is 17.625".   Some of 
the rack shelf units I researched show 17" inside dimensions for 
equipment.  I did find one that was 17.750".   These are fixed shelves 
and not slide out shelves.
