To and the list --
My solution to the weight problem when mounting heavy things in a
rack is to use angle stock bolted to the sides of the rack cabinet.
Here's a pic - http://www.fernblatt.net/A/rack_anglestock.jpg
That rail "shelf" bears the weight and the front screws simply hold
the radio in place. The aluminum rails give quite a bit of friction,
so the front bolts aren't *really* needed, but I feel better with
them there.
Another thing that helps in my case is assorted heavy "crap" in the
bottom and an extra deep rack.
Outriggers on the front are A VERY GOOD IDEA if you use slides
though, regardless.
