alangeering Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Hi, I've got a GA3 rackmount adapter for our EW100 series receivers. The front sticks out a lot. Is this just to provide protection for connected antennas? I'm fitting into a case that doesn't quite have enough clearance (and I'm not using antennas in the case)... so can I just get rid of them? I'd be interested to hear what they are for. Thanks,Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete10uk Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I think they are there to protect the knobs on the receivers. There may be some other use also as I don't know why they have holes in. Additionally if you use the front mount for the aerials it also provides protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR1 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Do remember that if you grind off parts of the receiver itself you will invalidate the guarantee ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alangeering Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 I will be doing all grinding before I fit the brackets to the receivers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljoshua Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Have you measured how far the dials on the front extend from the panel? IIRC, they're not much shallower than the rack panel itself. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alangeering Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 OK, hacksaw, file and new black paint... I'll install them tonight and post a picture tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkPAman Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I realise this is too late, but I have on occasion mounted things with extra large "sticky out bits" behind the rack strip. Can be a bit tricky to do, but the long extension of a socket set usually will hold a nut in place while I do up the bolt from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
