[Elecraft] Rack Mounting Kit for the KPA500

My QRZ page shows a short rack system that I assembled several years 
ago. It contains a K3S + P3 combo and a KPA1500. Not shown is what you 
need for the KPA500 + KAT500 setup. I have such a system in my 
collection of Elecraft equipment.

The rack panels were obtained from SNS Engineering:

You can mount the tuner above or below the amp. It makes a tidy system 
that I use for portable operations. The panels are a bit expensive, but 
they are very durable and attractive. (SNS has done the metal work for 
some Elecraft products in addition to these external products.)
