When I put an R-390 or SP-600 into any rack, wood or metal, I cut a wood 2"x2" to length to match the inside dimension of the rack, side to side. I then drill one hole in each side of the rack at the desired level for the bottom of the receiver (plus half the width of the wood), half of the depth of the receiver back from the rack rails in front. Then put the 2x2 inside the rack between the two holes and drive screws into each end of the 2x2 thru the holes in the rack sides. The result is a crossmember that you can sit the radio on as you slide it in, which ends up at about the middle ot the chassis and holds almost all the weight. I like this approach better than running two pieces of wood along the sides of the rack to make "shelves", as fewer holes are made in the rack and I find it easier to get the dimensions correct. And it is quicker... Steve WD8DAS
